It should instead be a strong password that you can actually remember.

I agree that in theory a strong password one can remember is more secure than a randomly generated password that you have to write down.

However in practice, people just choose easy to guess passwords, or reuse the same password everywhere. That's a larger security problem, so the random passwords are more secure in practice.
