How about making the passords longer but easier to memorize? (no digit / letter / special character requirement)

That would work from the technical point of view, I do agree.

On the other hand, how would we make "lazy" people use those? And ensure that won't reuse the same password on some vibe coded forum that will store them in the plain text and get hacked in a few weeks =)

That's why I mentioned that mindset shift as the prerequisite.
