You have clearly never experienced "What the heck did I walk into this room for?"
... or is your password "Password1" ???
I deal with the doorway phenomenon regularly. But remembering where one's sun hat was left is inconsequential compared to the passphrase keying system which secures one's entire digital operations throughout life.
One of the great benefits of having an entirely wetware passphrase system is that I can recall any passphrase I require out of my own head while also maintaining passphrases which exceed adequate entropy and are unique for their given use case.
No worrying about "oh noes, did I leave my password database on the other laptop???!!! :O", "Uh oh there's not internet here! f it I have to drive back to lookup my passphrases on FBIpassX D: !!"

There's always more than one acceptable solution.
As for the bolded - in many cases (not all), if that's the issue, you likely would't need the use of the password either...
I use Keeper Security for my password security and like it a lot. It allows you to make passwords with as many random characters you want (the default is 20) and can be used with both Windows and Android.
You might store most of your passwords on some storage site,
but keep the important ones (bank, credit cards, primary email)
committed to memory, or have hints for them on a piece of paper.
And we're told not to use the same password for multiple accounts,
but I do that with less important accounts, like social media,
rarely-used retailers, etc. (I don't have payment info stored with
those retailers, of course).
