I have a password strategy I like, and I'm gonna share it because you might like it too.
* Create a master password root. Do not write it down anywhere - memorize it
* For every account that requires a password, add a unique suffix to the root
* Write down the suffixes in a file locked with the master password root
* Do not use a password manager. Enter passwords manually; since they all share the same master root, you are very unlikely to ever forget it
* If you do forget it anyway despite all this, you probably have bigger problems. Or maybe not, but then again, none of this shit matters anyway
