The solution to that is a secure password manager.
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

You just have to remember the one password and the program will track
all of the rest for you.  This way you can use gibberish passwords for
important sites such as online banking and you don't have to remember
them or write them down anywhere.  The password database is encrypted
using Twofish and SHA-256.

The only real downside is that if you don't have access to the
password manager, you don't have access to anything else either.

Oh...and don't forget backup the password database! :)
