But that's very simple to manage. You just use a tool such a LastPass or 1Password to generate the passwords for you. The generated password is then stored either on your device, or in the cloud. You never actually need to know what the password is.
You can then either let the software autofill the password when you re-visit the site, or you can just copy the password to the clipboard and paste it into the password field.
