If your IPv6 address is more complicated than your password, you have bigger problems.

Remembering and communicating mildly complex byte sequences should be an issue which is solved already.

It is solved already, it's called DNS.

...except when DNS doesn't work.

IPv4 addresses are not any more difficult to remember than phone numbers, but the same can't be said of IPv6.

Diceware is way easier to share over the phone than any IPv6 address (except for the few vanity ones like Google's 2001:4860:4860::8888 — then it's only slightly easier).
