Managing Passwords?

I use the new WP retina scan plugin for all my properties.
Saves a lot of hassle. You need a 1.3 megapixel webcam though.
 


Lastpass. They store everyone's data online, but it is encrypted on the client side. You can't just hack into their datacenter and get people's passwords.

The only way someone can see your passwords from their end is if they get your master password (should you choose to use that scheme). You can use a really strong master password, meaning randomized, alphanumeric, >=12 chars to protect against brute-force.

The downside, at least for firefox, is that it's been bogging it down lately, but I have a lot of extensions running, too.
 
Password #1: Used only on stupid accounts that are in no way tied to credit card numbers.
Password #2: More complex, used on accounts that have access to your credit card.
Password #3: Used for bank accounts and credit cards themselves. May change slightly between accounts because this is where high security starts.
Password #4(God Tier): E-mail accounts. If your email account gets compromised everything gets compromised. NOTHING uses the same password as e-mail.

There you have it. 4 passwords(plus or minus a few for slight variations for different bank accounts), and it's a relatively secure system.

Using 1password and dropbox to sync between computers. Works pretty good and they now have a chrome browser extension. Curious about lastpass as it seems to get a lot of positive mentions.
