I feel like there's a level of easy, that's still secure. I used to be the kind of person who used the same password for everything. Now, I've changed that password on everything and I'm particular about using a password manager even for most local uses. But when I'm performing first time set up, I use a variation on that easy to type, burned into my brain old password. It's not incredibly secure, but it's not 4 digits or my birthday or anything of the like.
