Might I recommend a reasonably secure browser with an in-built password generator and manager? I use Firefox. You make up a username and it generates a safe password and saves it so you don't have to remember it'd Just use a safe password for the browser itself that you can easily remember. I personally feel that's a decent compromise between secure and convenient.
I love the basic instructions for someone debating security policy nuance. It's like you don't get that he's way, way, way beyond "pick a password you can easily remember" despite the technical level of the discussion.
The person I'm replying to isn't the only one reading the comment. Chances are someone who's on the fence or hasn't interacted with the issue yet will benefit from it a little. That's what I like to think at least.
That's still shifting responsibility to the users, which is great for all these crappy products, but we should be demanding better.
Of course, but meanwhile, we have to take of our own privacy.
They still have a profile on everyone, established long before we could limit anything.
