Actually I'm more in favour of using a "throwaway" password in the sites I care less. Exactly because I don't know if they store this on plaintext or weakly hashed.
Sure, it's still a secret, but it's something that's not hard to remember if needed (or even type on mobile, because if you think I'm generating something like a random string of characters for any website that wants me to login you're mistaken)
Password managers are great but I don't have it (or want it) installed in every device.
