A variation on the password algorithm: Generate half of your password by using the algorithm. Create the other half, one per site, using a random algorithm, and write it on a piece of paper (if the site has stupid "security" requirements for the password, you can usually fit these into your random string).

To regenerate your passwords, an adversary would need both to figure out your algorithm and obtain your piece of paper.

If you're already writing half the password on a piece of paper wouldn't it be safer to generate the whole password randomly and write that down?

If only half the password is written down, anyone who obtains that paper without knowing the algorithm only knows half the password!

Oh, that's right, thanks!

Or, you know, use a password manager.

Which password manager is the most secure / robust / potentially long lasting company out of: LastPass, 1Password, Dashlane, Keeper (or others?)?

I use LP, I also used 1Password professionally and I found it cumbersome but your mileage might vary. I disliked Dashlane and never used Keeper. They all do roughly the same thing, the difference is in UI mostly, just test it out and see what you like best.
