We are talking about RSA though, so there is a fixed character length and it isn't meant to be remembered because your private key is stored on disk.
Yes the word method is better than a random character password when length is unbounded, but creating secure and memorable passwords is a bit of an oxymoron in today's date and age - if you are relying on remembering your passwords that likely means you are reusing at least some of them, which is arguably one of the worst things you can do.
You didn't have to call me out like that.
Okay, that's fair... Not sure how I missed that context but that's totally on me
