I want to improve my personal password management. I usually use secure passwords, but overuse them for too many different places.

My questions:

  • What methods do you use to create passwords, e.g. for different online sites/logins?
  • What methods do you use to remember those passwords? Memory? Pen&Paper? Software storage?
  • Is there some good way to store my passwords somewhere, so I can always have access to them when I need them (e.g. a webbased solution on my own server) but at the same way keep them away from unwanted access?

Edit: Someone on another site mentioned http://passwordmaker.org/. Have you had any good or bad experiences with that software?
