Anyone used this?

Emails accounts, shopping accounts, finance/bank acounts, AIM, my computer admin accounts, and countless other accounts for work, I just have too many Usernames and Passwords to remember....

how do you guys keep track of passwords? (which are supposed to be alphanumeric, at least 6-8 characters in length, and periodicly change, according to most sys admins out there)

I try to use the same pw for everything but there's one or two odd one(s) though. I try to keep it similar so it's easier to remember.

i use a better one: my memory.

that and a simple (secret) procedure to making hard-to-guess passwords for anything.

I use the least secure method possible. i write them on toilet paper and leave them in my office. no just kidding, i use Firebird to remember all of my passwords. If you navigate the right series of buttons, it will reveal to you all of my passwords in plain text.

None of my banking or credit card or financial PWs are stored anywhere. And, if anyone ever got into my corporate laptop, then i'd be screwed, but the rest.... don't really care.

I use a simple algorithm comprised of the date & time that I set my password, transposed to binary & XNOR'd with a randomly generated number. I switch this back to hex, multiply it by itself, then apply it to the standard EBCDIC character table to get alphanumeric characters. I truncate this (if necessary) at 16 characters to make it easier to remember. I try to remember to change all of my passwords at random intervals every 18-27 days.

'Cuz it wouldn't be smart to use the same three or four passwords for every account I log into. Nope, wouldn't be smart.

txt file in my unix account that has the file permissions set for just me.
I just made it into a csv file and am debating of making a small database for it.

I write it in my planner and keep track of it that way - for every account I have pretty much diff . pw

Well, I have a level system, depending on how important the information the better the password. For example, my junk email i have a crappy password, as for my banking i have a good password of mixed letters and number and capitols and no dicitonary words. Work passwords are never the same as home passwords. All of my passwords for stupid stuff like junkmail accoutns, steam, places online i had to create a account for i keep in a txt, the important ones i just remember.

Pretty much what i do. I have a password scheme in my head. I have my crappy password for junk mail and things i sign up for. More complex passwords for important things. and then kerberos type passwords without words for CC type info.
