Not to be all umm akctualle, but you shouldn't know your passwords. They should be long, randomly generated, and managed with a password manager.

Unfortunately, work requires your PC password to be secure and change it yearly (down from quarterly), so il at least that one needs to be knowable.
I still have customers who have monthly password changes because we can't MFA those particular accounts.
This is a memory thing and not an autism thing
I was wondering because I have always viewed my memory as wierd because im aweful at rote memorization but if I do rote memorize something it sticks for a long time. I still know a poem and shakespeare soliloqy I had to memorize in high school.
My phone number didnt require an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, nor a special character. Just numbers.
Then why are there letters on the buttons?

Well, there is a qualitative difference. Our telephone had a four-digit number. My passwords look like a meteorite shower has hit the keyboard.
I still remember my ICQ number, where does that put me?
