I’m still debating if it is worth trying to remember my IP and port so there’s even less for them to see.

Treat confiscation of your devices like an attack. Any indications of where to attack next is a potential vulnerability, even if it's secured.

Is generating a long password that you can't remember and set it as a password for your device then save it inside some cloud service that you can login to later plausible?

Maybe? If an attacker has unfettered access to your device, it's only a matter of time before they get in, provided they wish to expend the resources to do so. Especially if it's confiscated.
