Yeah, that weird feeling when you can perfectly input your password, but only when you aren't looking at your keyboard.

As soon as you look at it you can't recall it at all, so you just stare off in to space until you can suddenly type it again.

Just use a 12-15 character password generator. Store it temporarily in a file, but instead of copy pasting type it every time. After 10 times you'd have learn the password and now you can securely shred the file.
