My 50-year old brain isn't capable of memorizing that many passwords
anymore, so I use KeePassXC. I keep basically everything here including
my financial passwords and credit card data, with the exception of
passwords that I would have to remember anyway (full-disk encryption,
login, primary e-mail passwords, etc.)
Overall, it's much easier to remember and much harder to forget 10 complicated passwords that you use everyday than 100+ simple passwords
you use every month or even less.
I can't speak about Windows version of KeePass, because with the
exception of playing games not available on Macintosh, I haven't used
one since Windows 95 days.
I have the older version (non-subscription) of 1Password, but also make use of the keychain password manager and the manager built-in to Safari (I use Safari on both the mac and the ipad/iphone).
Only lately, when I'm offered a complex "strong password" of jibberish, I take it. That's working well too.
But I also use a variation on the same password: I selected two capitalized words (for instance ArchBasket with a few numbers, 245, then the first two letters of the intended website, for instance AMazon. Then I use this same password everywhere, with the exception of those last two letters. ArchBasket245am, for Powell's books: ArchBasket245po.
It's easy to remember.
