Some older sites, forums or something that isn't really sensitive, may still have my old passwords but sites like banking and such each have their own random generated one. I also try to generate the longest and most complex password the site will allow. Some sites don't allow the characters above the number keys.=20 Another thing, I was at my brothers once and needed to login to a site.=20 I installed lastpass, typed in my email and master password and I could go anywhere I wanted just as if I was sitting at my own puter. If it wasn't for lastpass, I would have had to come home and do what needed doing.=20 So far, this is the best solution I have found and I only use the free part. ;-) Dale :-) :-)=20
