I use the random generator too. Some older sites, forums or something that isn't really sensitive, may still have my old passwords but sites like banking and such each have their own random generated one. I also try to generate the longest and most complex password the site will allow. Some sites don't allow the characters above the number keys. Another thing, I was at my brothers once and needed to login to a site. I installed lastpass, typed in my email and master password and I could go anywhere I wanted just as if I was sitting at my own puter. If it wasn't for lastpass, I would have had to come home and do what needed doing. So far, this is the best solution I have found and I only use the free part. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
