I didn't find this method very convenient.
What I have been doing for years is remember one single password which would meet the password requirements of most websites.
For e.g. &<asterisk>I87yuU
This is 8 characters long, has upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols (Also if you try typing on the keyboard, it is actually a pattern).
I can remember one such password. Now, I have a formula for any website or app for which requires me to create credentials. This formula will help me add website specific information to the password.
Say the website is news.ycombinator.com, I will use second and third letters of ycombinator which is 'co' and increment both by 1 to make them 'dp' and add this somewhere in the password, which makes it
&<asterisk>dpI87yuU
Now, obviously unless someone knows my encryption technique, even if they get to know password of one of my accounts, they can never know the others.
P.S. I feel I have gone too far to explain this. Please don't hack my Paypal.
