Passwords and the Internet

Over the years my password collection has become quite a muddle. So many websites, so many new accounts to open, and each needs a password.
Anyhow, after years of mucking about, I have come to the conclusion that a 3 password strategy is a good compromise.

1) a password for your email accounts.
2) a password for 'trusted' websites.
3) a password for everything else.

I dont have time to elaborate on why I have come to this conclusion, but will do in the course of time...
