My real problem with this is writing the password with numbers, punctuation and stuff on a mobile keyboard. Feels like surgery even if I'd memorize it.
I use 1P on my laptop most of the time so it's not a huge deal. Everything else on the iPhone just remembers credentials.
I know I can force myself to use a great password for iCloud but my point is that most of the time, I'd go for an idiot password rather than forcing myself. Just like most people.
that little voice in your head that is screaming "i hate this" is your problem. It really is not a big deal to type a password, and even to type it a few times, just try to have a more zen attitude about it. It's how passwords work, stop trying to figure out how to defeat your own password, it's doing what it's supposed to do.
This may help, some special characters dump the keyboard back to the primary keyboard, so create a password that is letters, then numbers/specials, then the ' character, then more letters.
for example, pass2'word would only require you to hit the alt-keyboard switch once.
