Of course I'm not asking you to give away your passwords. But for those of you who have so many, how do you keep track of them all? Do you use any unique methods?

I know many people struggle between having something that's easy to remember and something that's easy to guess. If you keep a note with your passwords on it, for example, it can be stolen, lost, or destroyed, or if you make them according to a pattern that's easy to remember, the wrong people might find them easier to guess.

In my experience the best way to remember passwords is to.... Get a password manager

This is 100% the best advise. But how do you remember your password managers password? I highly recommend Computerphiles tips, I've never seen it explained better: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3NjQ9b3pgIg

(Join 3-4 random, unrelated words for a strong, memorable password)

Until finally there is one to bind them all.

And that password is written on a scrap of paper attached to my monitor. Perfect security.
