Couldn't really agree with Garp less I don't randomly generate my passwords but I can assure you they're over 10 chars long mixture of symbols, number, upper and lower case yet memorable, which is about as good as you get in my books...

Of course you'll be pretty stupid to use the same password for everything.

The problem that I'm sure most people on here will have is that across the internet I have at least 500 accounts across websites, if you include the things I've just signed up for once to get access to something then it's probably in the 1000's.

I have a different password for all major things; banking, email, facebook, etc.
I also have mobile verification on my email and facebook, meaning that I *HAVE* to also have access to my phone (which is behind a different password) in order to log in when using a new device and/or app.

At the end of the day you have to balance it out. It's not the end of the world if someone guesses one of the passwords I use on forums in all honesty so they are ok to keep the same/similar. Banking, email, facebook, etc however are not.

The great thing about Facebook logins on websites nowadays is that even if someone knows my password, they'll still need my phone in order to log into anything

You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like.
