First post from my wonderful new OLPC XO-1! It's so much more than I expected, albeit slightly tinier and cuter than I imagined. The coolest thing I've done so far: using the Measure activity to view the overtones while I practice my sygyt throat-singing.

Don't! Get KeePass (or KeePassX for Mac and Linux users).

On a daily basis, I have to provide credentials to maybe a dozen different authentication schemes. On a monthly basis, it's probably between 50 and 100. Overall, I've got more than 250 passwords that I've had to come up with. You've probably got a comparable number if you think of them all: your computer logins, websites, email acounts, instant messaging, online banking, PINs; if you're a programmer, you've got many more for databases, code repositories, servers, and the like.

What I used to do is keep a set of just a few passwords, maybe adding a number on the end to give some variety. One was my "weak" password that I pretended not to worry about, and the others were at best slightly stronger. Most websites got my weak password, and computer logins and banks got the stronger ones.
