As others have stated, you don't need 101 passwords if you reserve certain ones for high-security / low-security-web-based etc etc.

The trouble I have is that I'm prompted to suggest a password when I least expect it, suggest one that seems memorable at the time, and therefore find myself in the stressful situation I'm in now where I have over 10 different ones, and can never remember which for which...

I'm nervy about writing them down, and as stated before, reserve certain ones for low-security stuff such as Ppruning, and others for the credit card etc, however, it often takes me several attempts for passwords I don't use regularly, and on top of all the PINs I have to remember I feel as if I'm going into mental overload to be honest...

I couldn't remember the word I used for a credit card, and could only log in to see my statement after having the card for 2 months (the software wouldn't say you had the wrong word, just that the "server was busy").... Not that I should have anything to worry about, but one should check financial statements for obvious reasons...

So anyway, my point is that I don't think having all these passwords makes life any less stressful...far from it.

I have a safe, so I guess maybe I should write them all down and put them in there in case reference is needed.

Not sure if my experience will benefit Evo's article, but it really is a PITA to remember all these words and PINs...
