Thread is kinda old and already mentioned password managers like Bitwarden. Best is uniquely generated random passwords which the password manager holds. But no one mentions that you still need a master password and this one has to be extremely secure too. You can't just take a hash or just make it completely random, you will never remember it. And if you do happen to memorize it, it's likely not secure enough. The best is a really long phrase that has meaning to you, ex: "The front desk girl in my building is super cute!" Long, easy to remember, relevant to you and only you, and best of all extremely unlikely to ever be guessed by attackers. No need for special symbols all over the place either.
