D-Jester:

The general rule of password "hacking" is that people generally leave their password in some "unsecure" location, like on a sticky attached to their monitor or under their keyboard. The premise of my comment was that they keep it in some "semi-secure" location. The only problem with your suggestion is quantity. I personally have at least 25 different passwords which I frequently use, and while it is fairly easy to remember one or two or even seven or eight, it becomes more and more complex and the numbers of them grow. It would be extremely dangerous to use the "same" password for more than one reasonably critical use.

Regards,
