Don’t use random characters. Use absurd phrases that mean something to you.

No amount of studying is gonna make me remember almost a hundred strings of 24 random characters.

Damn, I see that now. The heat wave is making me stupid, my brain isn’t made for 35C

That’s your new password friend! For everything! “My-brain-isnt-made-for-35c”. /s

That is actually quite effective, though I would likely spell out the 35 and allow sylization to create numerics.
You can likely now remember that phrase “My-brain-isnt-made-for-35c” forever if you just reinforce the memory from time to time. Creating an absurd image in your head or even using a real image to associate is another good way of remembering something. For this, I would leave myself a clue of ‘I thought 36 was OK’.

Maybe not for everything though.
Look, the amount of negativity I’m generating for myself just trying to encourage a simple alternative and self reliance is really irking me. I’ve used this method for twenty years or so, and found it to be extremely effective. Consider it a door. Use it if you want. It is possible. You are better and smarter than a machine or software. Last post about it.
