Like I said in my previous message, I have a program that keeps track of all that stuff for me. I have a master passphrase that is used to unlock the datafile used for this program. My passphrase for this program is around 30 or so characters in length, with letters, numbers, and punctuation. You can think of it as one big lock to guard lots of little secrets. You'd be amazed at how fast you can type a phrase that you use regularly.
There are a number of programs that you can use for this, that will keep track of the website, username, password, and comments for any number of sites. One of the best for Windows users is Password Safe". On my Linux boxes, I use gpasman.
These programs will let you copy/paste passwords in such a way that you never actually see the password you are using. Pretty cool IMO.
NOTE: If you use one of these programs, DO NOT LOSE YOUR DATAFILE or the PASSPHRASE to unlock it or you are really screwed.
Still doesn't answer my question...how can these programs "handle" your passwords when they are as hackable as anything else?

So...what do you do...WRITE IT DOWN???
