Finally stopped using only one password for everything.

I use 3 for everything :p

I pay for LastPass. If I need a password, which I want to remember/use without LastPass, I have four basic password types. The actual one will be parts of one or more of these types, with a small variations thrown in. That way I'll always have the important ones handy.

@Nanos That is why I have settled for 20 chars instead. Too many shitty services!

Same here. Stopped using something insecure and switched to a 16 character long random mess of characters for every site

I have a few I use, and when one's found in a dump, I get an email. I then make a new one for all accounts using it. I have 2FA on all my email accounts to ensure they're not a weak link, as well, so if I decide to abandon an account, I can.

(i never make them something common or about me, who's gonna go "yes, Parzival Wolfram... his password is gonna be the size of COMMAND.COM from MS-DOS 4.0!" Easy to remember, who the fuck is gonna guess it?)
