		<description><![CDATA[I use a system which allows me to have a different password for every site with NO memorization or record keeping. I take the site name and do a certain thing to it. For instance, you could take the number of letters and insert it between each letter (a6m6a6z6o6n6 for amazon.com), or change the letter by going up one (bnbapo for amazon.com), or whatever you can think of. Just do the same thing at every site, and you  have a unique password that you do not have to remember! (if the site name isn&#039;t long enough for my &quot;twist&quot; to satisfy the password requirements, I just do it twice)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, but I have to disagree with 
the basic premise of your advice. 
1st, NOBODY uses a different 
password on every site, etc, that 
they visit. I&#039;ve been on the web 
since 1992 and I&#039;m sure I have put 
in a username/email addr and 
password at least 500 times. To 
keep track  of  every different 
combination would require a small 
and very well indexed book!

I will agree that not every site 
is created equal, and those that 
deal with money (Banks, credit 
cards, Amazon, etc) or other
sensitive info need to be 
treated differently than those 
that give you the weather. It&#039;s 
also true that the sensitive 
sites use more security than 
the inconsequential ones, but I 
guess that by now it&#039;s been 
proven that any site can potentially 
be hacked. But if you get burned that way, way it&#039;s probably not because you 
used a poor or duplicate password. 
I tried to look at the password 
encryption sites mentioned, but
my eyes crossed and glazed over 
before I got very far. I am certain 
they are a great idea, but far beyond 
the need or understanding of the 
average user. And I would worry that 
if something happened to the 
site/software, that I would lose
ALL my passwords, which had been 
changed to cyphers.

I agree that more than one password 
should be used, and the really 
sensitive ones changed from time to 
time. (My bank requires that, 
anyhow). I think it&#039;s asking too much 
to expect the average user to do 
more than that.]]></description>
