That's why password managers are so useful. For every service a user can use a different strong password, but for the user there is only one password.
Of course, password managers have their weaknesses (a compromised system will often give access to all accounts, rather than just a few), but it is far more secure than having people using the same trivial password for every service.

- drucken 15y agoIt is a single password/pass phrase. This makes it simple to manage. You can easily create a simple paper and geographically-redundant system (e.g. using a one-time pad) that means you can keep the passphrase in the open, for example, in your wallet or purse. Password managers are the only way to go and eventually all password/passphrase users realise this because they end-up emulating these systems anyway (e.g. using extemely poor entropy additions to their existing passwords for different applications).
