Get a password manager. It's a lot more secure and easier to only have to remember one strong main password and have the rest randomly generated
^ I love Bitwarden
I enjoy self hosting it
(Rather vaultwarden)
If it’s something of vital importance, my mantra is to pay for someone else to host it.
They can have the responsibility of security / updates / etc. because a company full of people can do that better than I ever can.
That's my reasoning as well. The only drawback I currently see for bitwarden is that it's US based and I have zero trust in their current government not going to cut off the rest of the world at some point. I'm still using it, but I make sure to make regular encrypted backups of my vaults.
In case you didn't know, you can opt to have your passwords stored in EU by making an account on bit warden.eu
KeePassXC, donor, and I sync it with my (self-hosted) SyncThing server.
FWIW, LastPass is bullshit. DYOR, and stay safe, citizens!
Also, it could be taken as a positive that BitWarden is the example Wikipedia uses to define password strength. 🤌🏼
There's a xkcd for that of course! Linking directly to the explain as it has more info but the important thing is: password guidelines tricked humans into thinking in a machine way about safe passwords but long pass phrases are more secure from an entropy point of view and way easier to remember!

Take a sentence with 200 characters then.
And your opinion is exactly that and doesnt match security research:
For the following you're not the target group but others reading this who might want to make their lifes easier. Just from your way of writing I at least don't expect that minor sources like okta or the NCSC will change your mind.
( article links with high level descriptions and links to their primary sources)

Once you forget it, you lose everything
Both Bitwarden and 1Password can also generate passphrases with high entropy that are much easier to memorize and enter. I use that for my master password.
