I keep multiple password manager "vaults" (with Keepass) for multiple services. All of them have long passwords. Every morning, I will recall the passwords in my head to make sure I remember them, and on a schedule I'll log into the rarely used vaults just to ensure that access is working properly. The same goes for the passwords that I keep in memory as well (for email etc. where I may need to use a public computer in a emergency without my password manager or personal device available), bank PIN, important phone numbers, and so on.
The idea is to recall the passwords so often (many times daily to start, then daily when it's stuck in your mind) so that you can do it in any circumstance while under stress. Of course this doesn't excuse the need for a secure backup of those crucial passwords somewhere, but at least the chance of forgetting them is next to none.

- digitallyfree 5y agoYeah I use Keepass to store those as well.
