Definitely annoying to have to reset pw frequently but the shorter passwords part can be avoided by using a secure pw db like keepass (keepassX on Mac). Storing the db file on dropbox makes it very convenient. Throwaway pw aside, you really only need to remember 3 pws: db, dropbox, and main email (for convenience). I have many passwords I've never even seen thanks to keepassX.

- SoftwareMaven 14y agoKeepass has mobile applications that synchronize easily via webdav or Dropbox. Unfortunately, you can't create new records from the mobile device with Keepass (at least, with the app I'm using; there are others). My technique is to not create high-value accounts from my mobile and for low-value accounts, I'm OK with just using a semi-secure, temporary password that I update when I'm back in front of the desktop.
