How do you all keep track of passwords?
The vast majority of my passwords are the same one, or minor
variations thereof. I use it for stuff I just don't care about enough
about to protect. Go ahead. Log in to my Amazon account. See if I
care.
Other passwords are context-sensitive. I remember the password to my
work machine because I use it every day, and I'm always in the same
environment when I do.
I don't store my passwords anywhere but in my head.

I have a similar philosophy. I keep a list of passwords where I can find
them. Others could too, but if so, nothing is really "compromised". For
stuff I want/need to protect further, the passwords might look something
like this:
"<Prefix_only_in_my_head>Rest_of_password"
or
"Part_of_password<Postfix_only_in_my_head>"
or something similar.
I can keep the non-secret parts in plain sight, with the prefix/postfix
part only in my head. To keep things from getting out of hand, I have
only one Only_in_my_head part which is used for all my sooper seekrit
passwords.
