I use a script that generates passwords based on a master password and a "site tag" (originally used for web based logins, but the site tag can be any word really, eg "somepieceofsoftwareyouuse").
You can find a web version here:
https://milliways.cryptomilk.org/passhash.html https://milliways.cryptomilk.org/passhash.html
You can save the page locally (it's only a piece of javascript), or extract the functionality to build your own command line tool with nodejs from it, like I did.
(not my code, and I shamelessly grabbed the pieces from the js code for my own fork of it)
This way I have a new password for every use case but only need to remember one master password, which should be pretty hard to reverse engineer. I hope.
