Good one.

And if you have problems making hard passwords and storing them in a safe place there are password managers. Just be sure to backup your date.

I want to add that its a good idea to keep an undocumented password creation system for different sites. It is specially important not to use the passwords of your email accounts while creating online account.

Yup, Roboform is a very popular product. You can store up to 30 passwords for free (not sure if there is a limit on notes). The only real issue is portability. You can purchase Roboform2Go, but it requires that you carry a USB keychain with you wherever you go.

I’ve never been a Roboform user, but I have used offline passwords managers on a USB stick in the past. These fall short when you “forget” the stick and (Murphy’s Law) that happens to be when you need it most.

An online password manager’s primary advantage is that you can access it 24/7 via internet. No USB.

Here’s an Online vs. Offline comparison:

Well, I should say, there are loads of Password Managers out there. But the one I liked very much and use every day is AI Robo Form. Which you can get free version and paid version also at: http://www.roboform.com/

I do always keep patterns of Password for my own remembrance and also use this tool to manage my Passwords and Identity.
