That's my personal favourite. I use a nifty little tool called Password Safe to help me with it

I remember all of my passwords and they are all unique. I use a simple technique to remember each one
Step1: Pick a string of text, for example
444NJM
Step2: Take the 3rd letter from the URL of the site you are on (disregard the www) Add it to the end of your string. For example
444NJMl
Step3: Count the numbers of letters in the domain name, add it to the end of the string. For example
444NJMl11
Step4: Your password is
444NJMl11
I use something similiar to the above, the beauty of it is that it isnt difficult. And it doesnt matter too much if one of your passwords is comprimised as the others are signifcantly different to keep people guessing.
After you have used this method a few times it becomes second nature to you. You work it out in a second or so :idea:
Yeah I know that Im only doing a simple shift technique, but, its good enough for most people ;-) If somebody really wants your data they normally bypass any authentication mechanism anyway
