I use my own system for passwords.
I have the same username for everything (Anxst or a variation thereof).

I then look at what site I'm making a password for. What odd thing does it make me think of?

I then use that phrase in sentence, and write the sentence down.

Then I translate that sentence into Irish Gaelic. Please note Irish Gaelic will pretty much always twist the word order around from English. A lot.

Take the third or fifth word of the sentence, whichever is longer. Change the vowels into numbers (I have my own system for this).

There's your password, as well as a coded system for paper storage. And I dare someone to break that sucker.
