A physical notebook in a secure location and lots of memorization. I never store passwords, so that forces me to remember them daily.

And yes, they're long (15+ characters) and not common.

You remember 15+ chars long passwords for all and every sites you use? Remembering frequently used ones is understandable but all of them sounds fictionous to me. And if you use the same password for multiple sites, one data breach can do multiple times the damage.

At the moment I do very small batches of closely-related sites under the current scheme, but I figured out a scheme to switch to one-pass-per-site.

But, yes, I do remember many dozens of 15+ char long passwords. I also remember my library card number from 12 years ago.
