Applications, websites etc. requiring passwords - (far, far) too many!
Life - too short.

Started with a text-file. Would be safe, since it's in folder that's encrypted by Windows.
Then again, any application running under my credentials would have access. Switched too KeePass (portable). Decided to write my own, simply encrypts/decrypts the complete text-file.
Next problem; getting your 36-character password in that textbox. Copy & paste seems the way. That is, until you realize that it did not add much, since any app running under my credentials could hook the clipboard.
..so, it's now in an encrypted text-file. Which is only shown on a separate virtual-desktop (one that does not allow clipboard/keyboard hooks).

Password is secret.. so that the remembering technique should be secret ...

Thanks to this survey I've just downloaded KeePass
I use (did use until 5 mins ago) a text file on the desktop, name passwords.txt. Possible not the most secure password storage system in the world

Just include some series like Fibnacci in password. eg :- Pass@011235

Just use "incorrect". That way if you forget it the page will tell you that "Your password is incorrect"
Problem solved.

What do you do if it tells you your password is invalid?
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I have an awful memory and I don't write things down. So I don't remember them I just have to reset them every few days.

"All my passwords".
True, that.
Likewise, all my passwords ends with ...
"with ..."
True, that.

Regulatory requirements: minimum 15 characters, changed every 60 days; currently three domains, soon to be four. If you don't have a system, you're screwed.

Oeh.. so you don't know yet if there's a MAXIMUM for the password length?

Does that mean that there's a new post-it on the computer screens every two months?

No post it notes... just develop a system.

I use a salted hash of the domain names. The program then adds 2 special characters to the first 16 hashed hex numbers and copies the 18 characters into the clipboard. So when I input "amazon" I get a fairly powerful password that is never stored nor known, but easily available to be pasted when needed.

I put this as a reply to other comment, but I will put it here also.
This is a good point of view about passwords:
"Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember, but easy for computers to guess."

Now I know your password:
"Correct Horse Battery Staple"?

nah!! I use whole quotes, poems, or chemistry forms...
The point was that sometimes the password enforcement rules actually makes loopholes, as the people don't always remember those passwords. As the example, just 4 random words are more secure that P@ssw0r123$
