Don’t use them. Write them down on a sticky and place in safe location. Change passwords on a regular basis. Never let tech protect you from tech. If it is to be it is up to me!
Best way:: write it on the wall, or on a piece of paper next to your petutor.
You could try keeping them on a note pad, or as separate screenshots, of your login with password showing, on your desktop or in a file, with random numbers as file names. A bit awkward to find the right one, but you can get the hang of it.
Or you can go the corporate way, and change the password every six weeks, and just use a password manager.
I have my safe combo writer in an obscure place mixed in with more numbers in case I forget. Bottom side of furniture etc... often has stuff written on it already, same with construction.
I have actually figured out several electric door handle numbers because people use things like zip codes or the street number. Turn 'em back and forth. Landlords do that.
Think of a ridiculous phrase or something that makes you laugh. Now pick every other letter from that phrase. So, instead of WWG1WGA, you'd have
WeeWGOeWGAl.
I will check out those options. My vision is blurry and I mistype a lot. I mix in a nonsense phrase in combo with a special symbol, along with things no one could ever research, and some numbers
Hiftydifty%Spot1933 would be an example
Spot would be a pet in the family like grandmas third dog, 1933 an uncles birth year.
There's a lot of things you can mix in, but its my typing mistakes that end up screwing me.
I was in hopes of a USB gadget that you only plug in when asked for password or something.
Keepass if you want passwords off the cloud, otherwise lastpass. Have a different password for everything. Add MFA when you have the option. Highest level of password security needs to be on your email since that it most likely how you can reset all the other passwords. Don't stay logged into things and don't be logged in to too many things at the same time, especially social media. The more integrations it has the less other things you want to be logged in to when using it. But really the biggest attack vectors for anyone that is not on DS radar is social engineering. Do not jump to change a password if you get an email about something, and same goes for highly publicized data breaches (I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but if it is in the news you are either already fucked, or reauthenticating with a possibly compromised authentication system, do not act until you are notified). Do not verify yourself on social media and upload all the documents one would need to assume your identity. Use apps and your mobile as little as possible when using authenticated services. Pay a man in a trench coat with cash in a dark alley for a sealed yubikey if you really hate yourself.
I have a little notebook that i now write everything down in. The longer the password the better, more characters make it harder to crack. Use nonsense words or misspellings or numbers as letters. I know you should change them but I lost my Yahoo email that way, wasn't writing things down yet and couldn't remember the password, had that mail since 1998 or something.
Yup, lost an email address that way. Heck this is my fourth .win account because their password retrieval system didn't work... I lived abroad. This time, however here its no biggie except I lost saved stuff.

Do that! Was trying to be lazy. Switching from one device to another and VPN fucks me because I don't link or sync all my stuff together.

Yep. Always use the magic numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 But don't tell anyone, especially President Skroob

I use https://www.lastpass.com/ and it works great with all of my browsers.
LastPass, free and easy
When Obama was prez, I would use the PW "osmb" as the phrase- stands for Obama Sucks Monkey Balls. Easy to remember
Can switch it to Obama Sucks Big Mike Balls to make it a 5 er
Try This!

I always pronounce it: Wigga Wogga MAGA.
Oh dear, have I just given away all my passwords ...?
