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.
