I used to use passwords, but now I don't anymore.

I either use the same standard (unconventional) letter+number+symbol string, that may or may not also be my favorite titlepiece, or I comes up with a random 21 character key that I promptly 'wand'. If it should ever break (it has happened once), I just use the original e-mail address I provided to obtain a new password.

Besides the above, I shift usernames (and specific throwaway e-mail addys) instead of passwords. No sense in letting one cracked accounted become the gateway to multiples.
