I have my passwords prity much simple but then I have no real reason to secure everything. Everything I have is free online forums, etc non critical stuff. there is 1 password for everything. Then there are private ftps and well I have a password for that. Then their is the net, there is a password for that and for my dad's email, however Since I don't have to use them once set up I have had to hack into my own computers with a broot force crack program just to find what my own passwords are incase of a crash. The only real password I'd probably have to care about is my bank, and even then in banks you have a 15 number userid. So if I am not a serious hacker I doubt I'd bother hacking in even if the password was dog.
