Just use LastPass [1], 1Password [2], Keepass [3] or whatever password manager software you like and forget it. I prefer LastPass for seamless syncing and multi-platformity. It can also check existing password if you use them multiple times! 1. https://lastpass.com/ https://lastpass.com/ 2. https://agilebits.com/onepassword https://agilebits.com/onepassword 3. http://keepass.info/ http://keepass.info/

I completely agree. I used to have systems upon systems for remembering passwords, but I inevitably had accounts with the same password, and remembering them was impossible after a while. I started to use 1Password (for my Mac) about two years ago, and it probably sat, unused, for the first six months. I knew that I was doing the wrong thing by not using 1Password, but I was also frustrated by the thought that every time I went to a Web site, I would need to click a few more times, instead of letting my browser fill things in. At a certain point, I realized that the only way to use good passwords was to embrace the 1Password way of doing things. I slowly but surely changed all of my passwords, and I feel much, much more secure nowadays. Each site has a different, long, impossible-to-remember password -- but that's OK, because the whole point is that the password shouldn't be possible to remember. It takes time to use such systems, but they're incredibly worthwhile. And after a while, their use becomes quite painless and natural.

  You can set up LastPass even to log in you automatically, so you don't even have to click submit or login buttons if you want!

I tried and paid for LastPass, then compared it to 1password. The latter is very nicely designed, and works much better on iOS.
