Just a comment: IMO it's not worth using strong passwords on which you depend on privative/unknown security platforms. Who knows how many times they get hacked or have backdoors? Unless they specify they only store the hash I refuse to sacrifice one of my strong passwords.
Edit: To all talking about password managers. I don't believe in single point of failure as a way to go. The fact that i've to explain that xd...
How about just using a password manager and create a unique strong password for every website? That way you don't have to store so much in your brain and you get better security on any website. You also don't have to worry about more than one website being breached from reused passwords.
BitWarden is pretty great and is open source and free to use.
You can also self-host it if you don't trust them storing your hashed passwords.
