It is a universally acknowledged truth that remembering your passwords is a bad idea. The modern Internet user will inevitably be required to register for many services, and websites, and inventing a new password for each one will quickly overwhelm him or her. The burden of memorizing one’s passwords is too great to bear. Unless, of course, we grant that passwords may be reused—that we shall never do. Once we are satisfied that keeping all of one’s passwords in one’s head is a bad idea, we shall proceed to delegating this task to computers. If your computer is managing your passwords, you are free to use a different one for every entity, and you are enabled and encouraged to create very long and random passwords.
