[QUOTE=DiscoBiscut;48549731]I have like five passwords that I've memorized increasing in length depending on how important the thing is. I would use Lastpass to generate them for me but what if I need to login somewhere else? I'd have to like look it up on their website and that's a lot of hassle.[/QUOTE] you just save the pass on lastpass and youre done though
I Cant Tell You
They're all anime characters Sometimes I forget which character I assigned to each account, though.
Before I had a password book, now I use passphrases. It only takes a long time to type something the first few times, before long these sentences become muscle memory so typing out six words isn't really that bad.
Back several years ago, me and my friend played a lot of Age of Mythology and there was this one cheat code there for faster building, called L33T SUPA H4X0R. I often had to write it down on paper and look it up but my friend had memorized it. One time when my friend logged onto his WoW account I noticed that the password he had typed in was very lengthy, and maybe an year or two after when I felt like trying WoW for myself I decided to try and see if I could guess his passoword. I was reminded of the old cheat code since it was very lengthy as well, and as it turned out, that was his account passoword. I never used his account for anything, but it was still pretty neat to know I had "cracked" a password for someone's account. My current password is [sp]none of your business[/sp] which I got many years ago on a browser based game, called something like PopCity or some shit like that. It assigned me with a random set of letters and numbers and I've used that ever since for most of my accounts.
I memorize my passwords but I've also taken Snowden's advice of making my passwords more like phrases, often dealing with a particular subject matter unrelated to the thing the password is for. Except for my Facebook password, which is inexplicably (I give less than a shit about my Facebook and never use it) a fucking marathon of characters, numbers, and other shit that makes people marvel whenever I log in to my Facebook in front of them :v:
For facepunch, Facebook and my email I just remember, for anything else I don't use regularly I write down.
I write them down. Always figured it was the easiest and safest method of doing it. I mean if someone wants my passwords they have to break into my apartment and steal them. Less risky than using an online service or something. I don't think anyone cares for my forum accounts and stuff enough to bother. And I trust my friends enough not to look through my stuff when I'm not looking.
Usually just writing them down on paper except for anything involving money, which I memorise. Someone breaking into my apartment is likely not going to be interested in scribbled-upon paper with barely-known sites on it than stuff like cash or electronics, but they might just have the presence of mind to take a paper with the name of a bank on it and some mixtures of numbers and letters.

Well it's pretty easy, it's just the price of a cheese pizza and large soda at Panucci's Pizza. [img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/Futurama_106_-_A_Fishful_of_Dollars.jpg[/img]
Nice try NSA.
I tattoo mine on the insides of my eyelids. Really though I mostly just stick to three memorized passwords of varying strengths. A fairly insecure one that a large chunk of my friends even know which I use for anything that I don't care about the security of, a moderately secure password I use for most sites, then one that's over 50 characters long that I use on a few sites that I don't want compromised. (Though when it comes to stuff like emails which have many accounts tied to them I make sure the email has a unique password assigned in case anything else gets compromised.) For anything other than those I have them written down because typically those other passwords are used to fit certain retarded criteria that some sites require you to work with.
not going to say what this passwords for, but the password is the bomb code from the counter-strike series :v: [B]7355608[/B]
I have a few passwords, some I use for things I don't really care about. For accounts that warrant a bit more security, I make a unique password with around 20~ characters including: numbers, uppercase, and a few special characters. Memory is the safest place.
I've ALWAYS had one single password, but it has a space in it. (word otherword[number]) For passwords that require no spaces/a capital letter. It's without the space and with a capital letter - This way it covers everything. It's pretty easy... For sites I don't go on often/the account isn't that important (e.g. Gametracker) I usually just get the name wrong... (JasonMan, JasonMan34, JasonErl, Jason.Erl, etc. So many qq)
I used to write short stories as a teenager so I just use those characters' names for my passwords.
I have a good memory for minutiae, and make up my own random alphanumeric passwords
I have a system for passwords that I'd love to explain but that would kind of make it pointless :tinfoil: [editline]27th August 2015[/editline] I like the old tinfoil better :<
is it bad if my password is the same as everything
I use the same password for everything, in slightly different variation and the same password repeated multiple times for my email
I just use various sets of words/phrases/numbers that I need/want to remember and mix them up depending on the site.
I just use password123 for everything
I write down really important stuff like financial passwords and school related accounts, everything else is redundant and memorized.
Lastpass Premium. Cheap for how much I use it. Great service, great support. Really can't complain.
I use a pattern on the keyboard
