favorite password manager?

I used to do the same for my work passwords since the job gives me a blackberry. It worked well. Moved the work stuff to my iphone as well just to keep everything in one place.

As bad as Blackberry was, I still liked that you could backup and restore right on the pc.

You can still do that with most phones, it is just substantially more frustrating and now using a cloud service is much easier.
 
I was talking passwords only... not registration numbers and that stuff.. I got 3 passwords in total.... a simple "dont give a ****" about one, a more complicated one for games and stuff and a very complicated one for the really secure stuff. Of course remembering which I used where can be an issue! :)

reusing passwords is the absolute worst thing you can do.

Yea, having 2361234616 different passwords is sooo much safer.. you have the choice of giving those passwords to a 3rd party app like lastpass, or writing them down in a book. Lastpass was hacked not long ago. It does not have to be complicated. Your password for this site is not exactly that important.. where as for say Facebook it is. Hence dont use the same password on those two.
 
I use the same password for every non banking, or government passwords...........although my DP password is different.

It is the name of a hooker that I helped get home after a pimp beating. I got to know her a little while spending 3 1/2 weeks in Plymouth England.......................................(true story)

I could write a (very short) book on this subject. I do agree that storing very important ones - like your primary email, banking credentials, etc is best to be avoided but even worse is reusing the same password for such sites.

reusing them for facebook and other throw away sites isn't really going to cause any harm other then cyber embarrassment, but you are fairly used to that by now. :peace
 
I try to keep pretty complex passwords for important things, nonsense combinations of letters, numbers, symbols, capitalizations, etc. When I change one, I'll write it down on a couple of pieces of paper (but only the password - no further information that might indicate what account it is for or even whom it belongs to).

After I've used it enough times, I find I've memorized it....
