I use password composer (http://www.xs4all.nl/~jlpoutre/BoT/Javascript/PasswordCompos...) which does an md5 hash of the url and the master password of your choosing to generate a unique password for each website. The extensions for chrome and firefox make it very convenient to use.

If one chases down some of the links on that page, one gets to a number of interesting/useful resources.

Thanks for the link. I'd run across some of those some years ago but since lost the references.
