Like you gotta add a caps letter a number and some symbol and what not that gotta be 8 characters long and no repeats and what nots. how can anyon even remember such a password for so many websites. if its my account why cant i keep a simple password or something. you have to write such passwords down someplace and it makes them less secure in the end.

If it's too much to remember use a password manager like Lastpass or Keepass.

I take it as a mind game and have fun remembering all the different passwords.

I know these password managers are very popular but for some reason, I cannot bring myself to save all my passwords with these guys. That "What if.." always scares me.. lol

Which is why I also recommended Keepass, it's open source, portable and lets you store and export all your passwords on your computer itself. There's no question of these guys because in this case you yourself will be the weakest link.

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish).
