1 of those you are going to remember. the other, there is absolutely no chance, you’re going to have to write it down at the very least. They are going to take virtually the exact same amount of time for a brute force password cracker to solve, because it’s just trying random characters in random combinations, basically. in the end, what little bit of extra security the randomness supplies is more than offset by the added difficulty for you to remember it.
