There are some solutions. I use Keypass Portable on a thumbdrive for most of my passwords.
There are also some cool firefox extensions out there for website usage. One of my favourites takes a key feed (IE the password that you type into the password box, some psuedo random factors relating to the website you're logging into and generates a string. You type the same password in everywhere, but the password used for each site is different. It's not actually secure in any true sense. But it's an interesting idea and it's certainly more secure then using the same password everywhere. I'm personally all about longer passwords. I HATE websites that have a maximum password length. Especially if they have an obnoxiously frequent password change policy. I find it much easier to remember a phrase then an 8 character string of crap. And it's much harder to brute force a 50 character quote with punctuation and appropriate case usage, with a simple substitution scheme applied, then any combination of 8 characters. > I've had enough of dedicated passwords simply because I now have so > many of them that I can't remember them all.
