    I write them down on my PDA and make hard copies and store them in my drawers.

    One password fits all - makes things much easier for me.
    For some strange reason I have several different usernames.

    I just memorise them. The best way to do it unless you get knocked our or something and lose your memory. I also use FireFox for frequently used passwords. .

    I did a bit of social engineering back in the days and thanks to majority of the users using the same password everywhere i.... well... did something that would have been much harder/impossible to do if everyone used different passwords for different sites.

    I have some in my memory and others I have written in my little black book ;)

    I decided that the ones in my memory were too easy so I now use random letter and number combinations with upper and lower case mixes. For obvious reasons these need writing down.

    Memory. And for server passwords that are *like* --j0x-_-666_-_gj76H-GJ97--

    I got them in a file. No, I'm not even going to bother trying to memorize passwords like that!! :D:D:D:D

    How do you memorize 2000 different passwords and usernames :eek: :eek:


    I used to use firefox pass manager and text file, but this system is too unsecure, so I've just installed roboform :)
    Passwords in a text file can be easily hacked and spoofed by a trojan


    damn I think I forgot my master password in roboform :eek:

    What do you mean in your mind.. do you just have one-two passwords you use for all the sites?

    subtle hint: NOT secure

    I've got a notebook in my file cabinet with all the important ones, then use roboform for the others...


    Like Mike just said, memory is bad, you shouldn't use the same one over and over... Also, things like your name, social, and city are bad ideas...

    I have 5 or 6 different passwords and none related to me, my name, birthday or something that can be traced from me...
    Frequently when i stay long away from one site i've to type almost all of them until i find the right one :p
    I keep them in my mind only, hoping that i'll never have amnesia or something. :p

    I store them in my brain, but they are 4-5 passwords for much more sites.
