Frankly, I have never trusted password generators.
What a great program for a hacker to write.
Generate a password, and keep a copy for yourself!

i usually think of a phrase, which is random or meaningful to me at that time. Then pick a sequence from it. And make sure to have at least 1 lower, 1 upper, 1 number, 1 special, and at least 8 characters long.

and then sometimes add some random gibberish characters

In which 6 months later i redo the process again and change all my passwords manually slowly as i get to them when logging in naturally. Also in that way i usually have multiple passwords, sometimes i have to try.

I don't remember passwords. I calculate them. I remember phrases for each site and pass them thru some hash functions and then I use the result as a password. If it is really important then base64 comes on the stage as one more step. For some sites, I calculate hashes for cropped snapshots of their pages. For forums like this one, that can't ruin my life, I use something much more simple

for sites like this, i do the phrase followed by a simple algorithm, such as fibonacci modulo len(word[n]) to select the letter..

If this rule is known to the cracker, it actually reduces the set of possible passwords...
true, but the certain cases are sites that refuse such passwords. generating what they accept can avoid complicated failures.
