wow... thanks for sharing. Now who knows who is going try to access your gmail.

Use an encrypted cheat sheet.

Each letter and number is given a random character as a substitute.

How could a random character be a substitute? Do you even have a clue how encryption (public-key) works?

I use trucrypt, to encrypt an entire usb stick.

password protecting any office document is worthless.

Why do I have a feeling that a lot of Lakewood'ers now have "Pot@t0Kuge1" as their password?

Been using KeePass in conjunction with Dropbox for the past year or so... Only issue I am having now is using KeePass on Mac OS X, other than that by having it in a Dropbox folder it will keep it in sync across all your computers/phones (there is a KeePass client for Android)

P.S KeePass is open source

I used to store some passwords on my blackberry's app password keeper, until I had to reset (a full hard reset) my phone and lost everything since my last backup to computer. Unless you are backing up regularly this isnt the best way either.

I think that is the way to go. Worst case, you have to reset the password.

That could be a lot of usernames and passwords to remember.

I have a pretty elaborate password scheme/system I've devised. It's fairly elaborate and if I explained to you how it works you could guess my password anywhere once you know one password. Without the explanation, knowing even a few passwords won't help you.

What bugs me is that each site has different rules for passwords and far as length, allowed characters (i.e. can I use @#$% etc.), required characters and so on. Most sites don't even post the rules (using a JavaScript hover-over bubble or something) near the password box.

It is. You have to have the head for it all...
