OnePlus made me buy my Pixel 3. Anyone else have bad experiences with OnePlus?

This is going to sound like a total rant, but I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been completely screwed by OnePlus and they really just don't care. I bought a OnePlus 6T back at the end of November and received it in early December. It has barely worked for about two weeks since then. The ticket I have open with them is ridiculously long. And then they just went dead silent on me. I assumed I was being ignored. I even got the perma-hold ignore on the phone too. But today OnePlus finally replied after 27 days!! During all this time I just went out and bought a Pixel 3XL and I am tickled pink with it.
If anyone wants a good laugh at my expense you are welcome to read my story on my site read my story on my site.
From the bottom of my heart - be careful spending your money with OnePlus.

I feel like it's impossible to remember passwords that are long, random, and unique for every service. I have too many accounts.
On the other hand, I don't like the idea of giving up control of my passwords to a password manager and using the ones it generates and stores. It feels weird that I wouldn't "know" my passwords.
Is this a hangup I should just get past? What do I do if I need to login somewhere but cannot access my password manager?
