Most common passwords list from 3 databases

I have recently started generating all my passwords using a Markov chain script I wrote in Python. They're much more secure and, since they sound very similar to English words, easier to remember than, say, &&364e7forty-two88()l.

I started writing words backwards (among other things). Not as secure but I don't hit myself when cookies expire.

I've been a fan of geometric shapes on the keyboard and number pad.

I knew a guy that didn't even know his password explicitly, all was just a pattern of finger movements stored in muscle memory.
