Other than the password manager built into my browser, I use a simple
technique that makes it easy to remember different passwords for
different sites. At least it's very easy after the first couple of days,
once you get used to it. Come up with a simple rule like:
the password is the first four letters of the site, followed by "8564", so
gfy8564
yaho8564
wamu8564
Except being that simple, someone who knows a couple of your
passwords can guess the others, so do something to make it a
less likely for someone to notice the pattern, such as:
ohay8564
umaw8564
(the letters are backwards)
or better:
uspp8564
eszu8564
(use the letter one position to the right, which is obtuse enough
that someone looking at a password or two without any knowledge
of your system is unlikely to figure out.)
No need to remember your passwords that way, just remember
the rule. Of course you can come up with your own rule, perhaps
alternate between the letters from the site and your own five letters:
mgofryrr
mwoarmrur
(morris alternated with the sites gfy and wamu)
You could of course reverse the letters and alternate them,
whatever. You'll quickly get used to your own simple
rule for choosing passwords.
