When an ordinary website asks me to register using an e-mail address and password I always use the Yahoo mail account that I set up specifically for this. I visit once a week and delete the messages without bothering to read them- they are all SPAM by definition. I use my favourite old car's registration number as the password.
Some sites (such as PPRuNe) gave me a unique password. In these cases I memorise it.
I don't bother with on-line banking as I regard the whole internet as not secure enough for any banking purpose. Even ATMs have been hacked for heaven's sake!
I use "Folder Guard" to lock the folders containing information that I wish to keep confidential and use secure passwords to protect it - ten characters in upper case, lower case, numerals and symbols.
