You’re missing my point here, man. Obviously phone numbers don’t have to be secure. I’m just using them as an example that society used to think it normal for people to remember several long unrelated strings of numbers.
There was never a time where people were expected to remember 100 different 12 character alphanumeric sequences, actually. Most people remembered maybe a dozen or so 7 digit numbers, which is quite different.
Is that ever what I said? You don’t need to remember every password. You can have a mnemonic. I am using phone numbers as an example of a complex memory thing we used to think of as totally normal, that’s all.
