I have nightmares about my 40+ accounts I try to keep track of. My last job was Sox compliant so I had 8 different databases all forcing me to change my password every 45 days - non of them would talk to the other so I could have 1 account. (They used all the reset my password requests to spam the auditors every two years.)
Our security manager at work uses a password manager on his cell phone. It's always with him and it generates a HUGE password using a seed value he gets by shaking the phone.
Personally - I think thats very un-secure but he uses a backup service to backup the file in-case the phone dies or gets lost.
I use a password manager on a flash drive so I can use it on any of the 4+ windows box's. I keep the same password manager on my main PC and every so often I print it out and shove the printout in a file folder.
And - for the web based accounts I use the browsers password manager to make it easy so I dont have to remember them. But these are always different from my Amazon, PayPal and baking passwords.
