ASK DN: How do you manage your passwords - manually or with a service?

    Every site I go to I use a different password, and I use an algorithmic process specific to the site itself to mentally generate a new password. This ensures that I don't necessarily have to remember passwords, and can rely on figuring them out when I revisit each site.

      I do the exact same thing. It works well, though I've had site names that give the formula trouble and then use a common fallback.

        Haha! Not really, though :P Like I said, I'm not actually memorizing things. I'm just using certain rules of perception to make login credentials, and keeping those rules consistent across all areas.
