Showerthought: I used to think my old passwords were fine

I read a report from Troy Hunt's 'Have I Been Pwned' site that said over 600 million passwords from past breaches are actively being used in credential stuffing attacks. That convinced me my reused, slightly modified old passwords were a huge risk. I finally set up a proper password manager last month. Anyone have a good method for remembering the master password without writing it down?

Take a line from a book you love and use the first letters of each word. Add a special character you'll remember. That's what finally stuck for me.

My cousin uses a song lyric with numbers swapped in.
