A tool that I wish more people would use is PwdHash (https://www.pwdhash.com/ https://www.pwdhash.com/). It's a system for generating psudo-random passwords for the web.
Basically, it will take some input from you (a password) and then hash that with the domain name of the site you're accessing and supply that when you actually submit the form. This means that my GoDaddy password would be "O0ErvdwEiy" instead of "asdfasdf".
It helps protect you against sites that may store your password in plain text because a compromise of one system does not mean a compromise of all systems.
It's fairly painless to use, but is only supported as a Firefox extension or through their website. There are some issues with sites that use different domains for their login servers or that use flash for their login dialog (yes, they exist).
