I certainly do not want to rely on mnemonics, and I find it (almost)
astonishing that people would devote time to developing a mnemonic
method. I long ago came up with a simple two-step device to keep track
of my 100's of passwords: It is called a spreadsheet. All you need to
remember is the password to get into the spreadsheet. This is my "key
chain". My method only works on a device where I can access my
spreadsheet, but that is not an issue for me. I think this could be
easily adapted to other devices, were I so motivated.

In my as yet brief use of LastPass, it is very good on my Mac (and probably
equally good on Windows). I haven’t yet even tried it on my iPad or iPhone, but
the problem there is that mobile Safari doesn’t support plugins, so the kinds
of content rewriting that the plugins must do to work seamlessly with the
browser can’t be implemented. I don’t know if this is just a problem with
Safari, but it seems to be a restriction with iOS generally, being a highly
restricted ecosystem. I suppose Android would be less restrictive, although I
don’t have any experience with it.

Agreed. And do you know one of the biggest problems? Phones!
Yes, 1Password and others run on phones, but mainly for browser logins.
Then cam "apps". Browser's could't keep up with the demands of phone apps so the devs
had to go to "native" apps, or more general PhoneGap type apps. Yes iP can work with
them but you have to cut/paste to use them which is a total pain in the rear.
Possibly apple's new phones with thumb recognition will simplify things .. you'll have a
"key chain" in the sky. But it'll be broken by the bad guys too, I guess. And
depends on the apple ecology which I find too incomplete compared with google.
