People are making things more complicated than they already are. I simply keep my passwords and passphrases inside my memory.
P.S. My password is not 'Password123456'
There's no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.
You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.
My vote is password manager. You can use 1 really good password for it and as many stupidly good passwords anywhere else since youre likely auto filling or pasting it in.
Just if your using it locally, remember to take a backup.
