Setting passwords and security
I have about 7 hosting accounts, am a member of over 60 forums and have many other services that require passwords. Generally, I use the same or similar password. However, recently I have been getting more and more hacking of my sites going on and I worry if it is due to my password "system" (or lack of).
How do you go about creating your passwords, and remembering them?!
Thanks,
Jon

I use SplashID from http://www.splashdata.com/splashid/index.asp.
I had have it on my Treo, and am hoping they do something like this for iPhone. The app runs on palm devices for on the go as well as windows/mac computers.
Using a different password for everything is a good idea. Though I have been known to have 5 or 6 passwords that I use for different things.. for different levels of importance really.

I use keepass, best thing about it is that it can open the url, and then 'type' the username and password, so even you don't need to know your passwords
