I'd say require using one of a list of 2-3 password managers. Then, the user has a master password that they can change if they want to, and can change individual passwords with less effort. Allow writing master password on a slip of paper kept in their wallet for a couple of weeks until they memorize it.
Within the password manager, there needs to be a way to automatically login to their email account to verify accounts and change lost passwords AND a standard way (Call it PWMAPI - the Password Management API) to change passwords non-interactively within every service. Then, with one button in the password manager, it can change all passwords at once, within a few seconds, while keeping backups of old passwords in case anything fails. Heck, make it an automatically scheduled periodic job the user can be notified to do.
This is how to make things easier.
