I use a tiered password scheme, and I don't agree with this article. I think it's too much of a bother to be using a password manager all the time. Especially when using public computers. It's not just the effort that bothers me. I have a feeling that doing something as extravagant as using a different password for each service will somehow make it more probable for people to steal your passwords. I've been using the internet since the mid 90s, and I remember only one time when my password was compromised. (Granted, it is possible there were more cases that I just never found out about.) It was about 3.5 years ago, and I logged on to ICQ in a sleazy internet cafe. Some kid had a keylogger installed there and he later stole my ICQ account. I changed this password in all the places I used it.
