I feel the "correct horse" method is bad advice. Though, certainly not terrible. I actually followed it for a while and it works amazingly well for memory, but over time I was convinced that the best route is a password manager with randomly generated passwords.

That doesn't make it bad advice.

The comic advises using correct-horse style passwords rather than tr0ubaDour-style. That is good advice.

I agree, I think a manager with randomly generated (and long) passwords is the way to go in terms of security + ease of use sweet spot. edit: in addition to 2FA/yubikey type measures.
What do you use to unlock your password manager?

A 7 word diceware passphrase would be a good idea.
