Passwords are a terrible security tool - In many cases they are easier for computers to guess then they are for people to remember.
For me, not-memorizing it is the whole point of 1Password.
1Password lets me generate and store passwords which are MUCH longer/more random than normal people can memorize.
I store them on my PC, and lock/unlock them with a strong master password - They're synced via local network to my phone, and never travel outside my network. Where possible, accounts are additionally secured via 2-factor auth.
This seems like a much better solution than variations on song-lyrics, cat names, 'P4zzw0Rd', which is the 'standard' solution to passwords.
FWIW, passwords are something I'd consider a 'hair on fire' problem. The current solutions are very very broken.
