+1 to both. My Lastpass passphrase is Diceware.

Also:

  - don't let browsers remember your passwords
  - don't use the same password on more than one site
  - use 2-factor authentication whenever you can
  - periodically print your password list and store it in a safe place
  - make up fake answers to verification questions and record them, e.g.,
in your password manager
  - understand that even if you do everything right, shit happens like
vulnerabilities/hacks/social engineering, so perfect security isn't
achievable
