How do you propose one memorizes a properly random/secure/long password, let alone multiple ones, without trusting 'something' with it, whether a password manager of good repute, a hand-rolled version with potentially bigger security issues, or a piece of paper somewhere?

I've memorized multiple long passwords, and routinely memorize new ones. Also phone numbers, poems, mailing addresses, digits of pi, etc. It's not really that challenging. Especially if you do it often.
Your password doesn’t need be a long random string, just a long unguessable one and safe from dictionary attacks Ilikeapples! Is fine But You know I’m not a security researcher
