stolen phone and passwords

Having a phone stolen is bad but usually phone and data can be recovered. my issue is passwords stored on the phone, I had a lot of trouble doing anything without my passwords. Although i will get another Iphone I worry about using complicated passwords and extra verification. they make it hard on criminals but also on me

Passwords stored on your stolen phone are not accessible by the thief, unless you had no passcode on it.

ICloud keychain is secure unless you gave away your apple password.

I use complex nonsense passwords like fkgig-ifudf-Th468-ethcxh for every access except my Apple iCloud password which is complex but memorable.
