If your memory can’t hold at least two authentication methods at the same time (phone pin and vault master password), you might have bigger problems.
There are ways though. Bitwarden for example allows you to set a pin once you’ve logged in, so you don’t need to enter your master password every time you reboot your device.
If you have it installed on multiple devices, then you easily have a backup device to check your vault if BW on the device you’re using somehow resets and asks you to enter the master password again. You can even store your computer password in your vault and use your phone to see it if your forget. While not advisable, you can set BW on your phone to have the same pin code as your phone, if you really have a hard time memorizing more than one code.
Keepass is great for similar reasons but moreso because you can keep everything local and offline if you want. It has a built-in mechanism for synchronizing databases plus a way to point it at a completely arbitrary URL for you to host a single database yourself and receive updates. It also supports multiple potentially interchangeable authentication methods like physical tokens, passwords, biometrics, and keyfiles.
Keepass also hasn't leaked 16 billion passwords.
They (keepass) did have malicious actors set up spoof sites providong a trojanized version of keepass compiled from a trojanized version of their open source code.
