Use a password manager. And create a passphrase type password for it so it's easier to remember. Then you will have a unique password for everything, while only needing to remember one of them. And since you will use it daily, it's impossible to forget.
I do use a password manager, but I can't use it for signing into a machine, just signing into other things once I'm already logged in. I usually do remember my password, but there was an incident when I changed my password because I thought someone had guessed it, and then forgot what I had changed it to and was only able to recover my data because my SSDs were not encrypted
