Easy to remember passwords

I propose this idea.
What if you choose a password not according to the degree of complexity and unreadability, but, on the contrary, not too short, but well remembered?
The human brain is such that pseudo-logical phrases of familiar words are remembered much better than s2queY482uuj. I took several dictionaries, put them into the program, and then mixed them through a randomizer. For easier memorization, I start all the words in the phrase with one letter.
Here's what happens, for example:

a selfishly sniffing shket an
indirectly sour piece a
sad one-year-old pot an
ownerless beaded bead

, etc.

The password length is quite large. Considering the number of words in the dictionary, the number of combinations is huge, i.e. the password is not only unselectable, it is also easy to make it unique (like a login and password at the same time).
How's the idea?
If I reinvented the bicycle, poke pliz with your nose.
Thank you!

PS By the way, I can put the word combination generator in free access as a utility for Windows and Linux.

It turns out only the Russian alphabet? Moreover, only Russian words?
Maybe it will work in the case when the method of obtaining the password is unknown, otherwise, a rough enumeration of combinations in the dictionary will reduce almost everything to nothing ...
The rule “easier to remember - easier to crack and vice versa” has not yet been canceled ...

A long time ago in some document (I think about Linux) I read a way to generate easy-to-remember passwords that are very resistant to hacking - take three words and separate them with semicolons:
samsung; book; flower

Security policies often require that the password must contain numbers.

It all depends on the person. For whom it is difficult to remember just big phrases, and for whom it is easy; for whom it is difficult to remember passwords with special characters, and for whom it is easy.
I wouldn't use it because it's harder for me to remember.
And it’s not a fact that it’s difficult to hack, because if everyone (or just a victim) uses this method, then the selection will consist of as many elements as there are words in a phrase. In this case, your base of words will serve as the alphabet.

The other day I found such an interesting password generator password.nanohertz.net/index.php?language=ru Maybe someone will be interested.

I don't like light passwords too much, I prefer to use strong storage (for example, 1Password 3) and complex passwords. You can generate both using 1Password, and some service, like - getpas.ru
