I saw a post on CNET that talked about passwords. I posted a method that I use.
Create your own method of generating a password that will not make sense to the average viewer but can easily be remembered without writing it down.
My method:
A) Pick a sentence from your favorite book, one that you can easily remember.
B) Then pick a split point (a comma or junction for example) that makes a great break point.
C) Now create something to insert at that point that you consistently use from each site, how about the first two characters of the url (other than ww from www).
D) Then say, add the first two numbers of your birthday to add to the end (or month and year or other combination). 1/12/24 would be 13.
So...from Stephen Kings Firestarter...
"He looked at her and saw how pale her face was."
becomes the password on this site (news.cnet.com)

the NE in the middle being the first two characters of the url in this page. Now, each password for each site you visit is
1) easy to remember
2) unique to the site you have visited
3) not easily figured out for other sites, should one be breached (ie if you use the same password on all)
4) easy to remember once you have created the method in your head, you will know how to create a new one or remember one for each site you visit.
