   I always find that the easy way to have really secure passwords that are still   
   easy to remember (how to recall anyway) is to use an md5 hash of a standard   
   password, and then throw on the first or first and last letter of whatever   
   site the password is for.  eg, the output from 'md5 -s passwordFK', or   
   "0e558d0c942cea84ff756abefc106c9b", would be the result for a facebook   
   password, where "password" is your standard root.  This allows for quite   
   random passwords, with an easy to remember formula, so the urge to write them   
   down is gone, and in the meantime, you're also not pulled into the lazy trap   
   of using the same password everywhere.  Also, md5 hashes can be looked up at a   
   variety of websites, just in case the system you're at doesn't have the   
   command installed.  I find it to be much more elegant than software password   
   management tools.   
      
   Anyway, just throwing that out there, seemed on topic.
