Memorizing 100 random symbols for the most important logins is reasonable, but the average person probably has in the order of 50 logins or so. I just counted and was surprised that my password manager contains over 200 passwords. There is no way that I could memorize that many secure passwords or even passphrases.

People can solve ~60 rubik's cubes in an hour blindfolded (where they must first memorize them). I think, surprisingly, it's actually within the realm of human ability to memorize 200 20 character passwords.
