It solves a number of annoyances. First, it's easy to type on mobile if you need to for some dumb website that clears your input field when you alt-tab, since it sticks to numbers, letters, then capitalised letters. It contains a non-alpha numeric character, but at the end for stupid forms that don't allow them.
As for keeping the passwords around, you can do one of a couple things, but I generally just forget the password after logging in with it everywhere. I'm signed into chrome, so what's the point in remember the password myself? Unless it's something sensitive I don't bother. It's easier to generate a new one than to dig it up.
