So as soon as anybody gets a single one of your passwords, they now get the whole kit-n-kabootle.
well look at one of the examples above... g33e_w00t

I invented this method and has worked for me perfectly since then. What I did was to develop an algorithm by which I can reconstruct my passwords based on the website or account.
For example:
1) Take the first letter on the website name
eg : slashdot = 's'
2) Count letters in the website name:
eg : slashdot = '6'
3) Count the vowels
eg : slashdot = '2'
4) Take the last letter
eg : slashdot = 't'
5) Add and underscore and a keyword in common to the end of the 4 previous characters
eg : 's62t_w00t'
Here's another example with google.com
1) 'g'
2) '3'
3) '3'
4) 'e'
5) 'g33e_w00t'
Be creative with the rules... like for example, if its a bank account, make all letters UPPERCASE.
Hope this helps.
Note: the above example is not my PassGorithm :D

It isn't easy being the parent of a six-year-old. However, it's a pretty small price to pay for having somebody around the house who understands computers.
