Make shit up. Add special characters at the end, and capitalize the first letter, as needed.
This isn’t great advice because dictionary attacks exist. Password crackers are smart enough to replace letters/numbers switched around too; at least that was the case back in 2009 when I cracked ~20 passwords in half a second.
I like this in principle, but many people have a lot of passwords to remember, and reusing one complex password on all of your accounts is bad opsec, which is why I recommend a password manager.
