			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have way too many passwords.  They&#8217;re based on a common* mnemonic, rearranged into anagrams, and then with letter replacement.  I have two sets of three passwords &#8211; one set for personal use, one set for work.  The three passwords in each set are for varying security zones.  The most complex password is for high-security accounts like my network login (in the work set), or my bank account (in the personal set).  Then there&#8217;s a medium security one for stuff like logging into my home computer or wireless router.  It would suck to get pwned, but I can always wipe everything and reinstall off the backups in my closet.  At work I use a password like that for browser security, and important web site logins like CDW or sciquest.  Then I have a least-important password for stuff like web forums, where having my account stolen would be embarrassing at worst.</p>
<p>One thing that happens doing this, is that the most important passwords are the ones I type the least.  The least important passwords get stored in the web browser**.  I could use throwaway random passwords for this, with email recovery if I lose it from the browser cache.  It&#8217;s also really really important not to store high-security passwords in your web browser, and this scheme discourages doing that.  You don&#8217;t store a higher-security password in a lower-security one.  Your web browser history is less important than your bank account.  Browsers and OSes get compromised by bad people, and you don&#8217;t want to let them at your most important stuff.</p>
