The only way I know how to do that is to never start using it, which is my method. Don't make your machine remember your passwords for you - remember them yourself.
My method is to have a secure "base password" which I can easily remember, then replace a couple of the letters based on what I'm accessing. For instance, say my base password is "pa55w)Rd". If I'm going to Low End Mac, I'd take the first two initials, L and E, and plug them into someplace in the middle of the password to get "pL55E)Rd". If I'm going to Google, I might take the first two letters and get "pG55o)Rd". Hard to crack, hard to track. But easy for me to remember. And no, that's not my real base password.
