Try checking your RCPT header next time. Create a throwaway Yahoo account and change the password. You'll find it's sent with 128 bit encryption over TLS. If using a Gmail account to recover, Gmail defaults to HTTPS. You'll find you're secure every step of the way. To call email insecure is to be rather outdated with advances in the past 4-5 years.
Furthermore, nice assumption under 'a'. Mnemonics are a powerful learning device for memorization, I advise you look into them. The human memory is a powerful thing and committing several randomly generated password consisting of 20-50 characters it not "impossible".

I do not remember my passwords. I remember mnemonics which help me remember my passwords. It's not entirely foolproof but it is far more secure than a single-failure-point system.

I have no doubt you can memorize several very strong passwords, but there is a limit to how much randomness anyone can memorize. I've got over 100 passwords in my manager, counting both personal and professional accounts I need to keep track of.
