Good idea in theory. Unfortunately every serious person doing programming / administration / ... will have at least 20 accounts on the internet (probably underestimated!: email, other email, HN, sourceforge, github, facebook, own pc, own pc admin, vps, stackoverflow, etc. etc.)

At some point it's not possible to remember them all anymore... You have a choice of storing them with master password (now I can get all of them in one file), using the same one, having a password scheme (like usualpwd_HN, usualpwd_gmail, ...) or ... ?

Edit: what I started doing is setting random password that I will not remember and just requesting a reset when I get logged out.
