The biggest deal is of course to use different passwords for everything, including crappy accounts that you don't care about. Some websites forces you to make an account for a one-time purchase. Generate a new password.
Generating decent random passwords is not rocket science. But you certainly can't trust any password generator that someone posts online. Maybe it's reporting every password that it generates? Write your own that you can trust.
You could also use two six-sided dice for 36 possibilities, 26 letters and ten digits. And throw another die for upper/lower?
So keep your passwords long and random. That means you'll probably end up with a list of 200 or so untypeable passwords.
