For storing passwords, I use app-admin/pass.

For choosing passphrases, I write sentences. I know having space character at a 
predictable frequence in the passphrase makes it easier to find out, but using 
phrases makes it easier to come up with very long passphrases (which, I 
believe, balances the space thing, though I'm no crypto expert), which are also 
easy to remember.
