The most secure password tracker for the majority of people is a plain piece of paper put away in your desk. The odds that somebody will physically break into your home/office and grab your passwords off paper is a lot lower than the odds that some random browser bug will pwn you.

The odds are a bit higher in the office so work passwords might be a different story, but still, making somebody go through the hassle of actually going there in real life is going to set the bar a LOT higher than a script kiddie with a MitM exploit or whatever collecting them en masse.


BTW also use complete sentences for passwords. A lot easier to remember in your brain, easy to vary, and hard for others to guess. You can use a pattern to easily remember them all. For example, your reddit password might be "Reddit is a steaming pile of horse crap!", your twitter password might be "160 characters per message?! Yeah, right, what a spam haven." and your bank password would be "Capshort12" because they had the brilliant idea of truncating passwords at a certain number of characters.... blargh well it doesn't work everywhere.

But I do something like this, and if I ever forget a password, I just use the site for a minute, something about it will piss me off, and then, boom the password comes right back to my mind!
