paymentsnews.com — A recent password management survey showed that 18% of office workers are suppose to remember 15 passwords or more. Only one third of them actually do. I would have to assume the other two thirds write their passwords down in their notebook or sticky Post It! note. I know on the internet I have dozens and dozens of passwords. What is one to do?

I work for a Help Desk, and we actually have a password synchronization tool so that way the employees can use one password for everything. It comes in handy for people who have 5-6 passwords.

Chalk up another vote for KeePass! I have used this FREE program for years off of a USB flash drive. It is so handy because you don't even need to install it on any computer.

I've been using a combination of PasswordSafe and password phrases. Password phrases are much easier to remember, and generally don't get flagged as being in a dictionary. It's really easy to get to 8+ characters, whilst dropping in a number or special character if necessary e.g. : Th3do0r1saj@r.

You could always type them all out it word or notepad or something, save it, and archive it with a password. Then you only need to remember your archive password to access your list! Yay!
