Online password managers such as Lastpass or Dasher are a way round this,
and also can generate complex random passwords for you that you don't have
to remember. Of course you then have to trust them to work properly, but as
their entire business depends on them getting it right and the data they
store is encrypted and decrypted locally using a single key known only to
you, it seems to be a reasonable compromise. Unfortunately they tend to be
closed-source.
