Comment on Recipe: Easy to remember, service specific and secure passwordsparent

Comments

I do random-generated passwords for important things like root accounts, FTP accounts, and business-related email accounts, but then use a formula similar to the one in the first post for every-day stuff like forums, web apps, gmail, etc, so I can type them in from memory when i'm using them multiple times a day.

Oh, and KeePass (on my Android phone, Macbook, and home Win 7 PC) + Dropbox = heaven. The whole idea of a multi-platform password store with it's actual database file kept in Dropbox (or similar) is something i've been dreaming of and begging for, for years.
