You are welcome to use a new keystore and a new key. You just can't
update any existing applications. This is for your protection and your
users' protection, to prevent malware from being distributed simply by
hacking your Google account.

No, you just need to learn how to record your passwords. There are
1,700 hits on the Android Market for a search on "password". Many of
those are password managers. I use KeePassDroid, personally, to sync
with my desktop KeePassX.
