Default O/T: internet security question (leaked details)

A decent password ought not be "memorable". If you need it, go look at
the written record of it (the plate on the back of the router if you
like), or use the WPS button for creating new connections.

Surely a decent password *has* to be memorable because otherwise you
have to have a written copy somewhere that someone else can find. A
password manager doesn't get over this issue because you have to have
a memorable password for the password manager.
