Personally, I use only a few different passwords: one for my computers, one for work, one for e-mail, and so on. Now, what do the IT savvy slashdotter actually recommend? Use pwgen to generate a 40 character passwords for each website and have the browser remember them all? Hit the "remember me" check box on all the web pages? Or do you keep a post-it note with 70 passwords in a secret drawer? What is safer, and most importantly: why?"
