Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There's no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.

in like a decade the use of a password manager will be a bad idea. i don't know how but it will be.

Hmm, a single point of access for every password you have? I don't see the problem...

Lucky until we get actual quantum computing, it's not worth the years on a supercomputer to crack a single stolen set of encrypted passwords.
