Try that method for multiple sites though. When you have log ins for over 200 sites then it gets harder than that. I like to use a password manager. Is that as smart as I think it is? It encrypts it and plus any sites I forgot about it remembers the url's and passes.

Using a password manager is only as secure as the password manager itself is. Having a single point of failure is not entirely smart.

However what I'd generally suggest is having the general sites being managed through such a system and then keeping only the really important ones managed in your head (e.g. banking)

I trust this password manager. :-)

I would not trust them. I'm paranoid, okay?

If you're okay being paranoid why shouldn't I be okay with that? :)

Yes because I love trusting my passwords on servers I don't control. Other than the site whose password it is, obviously.

3rd party yadda yadda yadda

Analogy: I put security cameras in your house and you'll trust me to not share what I find. Trust goes out the window.

You said 'okay?', and I was just saying I'm okay with you being paranoid :P
