Should I use random password for Dropbox?

I am considering to change all of my password with 1Password's random password. Also trying to use OTP as much as possible.
However, do you guys think I should use random password for Dropbox which I synced my vault? In case all my devices are not accessible or wiped for any reason. I would lost all my password. I understand it is a little bit crazy, but am I correct?
Are you guys using random password for Dropbox?

    Most users believe that they need to have a few passwords that they can remember. For me, those include my 1Password master password (obvious), the password for my main email account, and my Dropbox password, and the password for my Apple ID.

    Advice for creating strong, but memorable, passwords can be found here: How do I choose a good Master Password? The advice there would also apply to the other passwords you need to remember.
