Simple way to secure your passwords:

* 1) Use 1Password to generate and store them

* 2) Use DropBox or similar to share your encrypted vault between your devices

* 3) Secure your shard vault with a strong computer-generated password, and keep it written down somewhere

I wonder why strong password management isn't built into operating systems, thus educating everybody and making them ubiquitous. What am I missing? Where is MacPass? WinPass?

The advice on the blog and this comment thread isn't any good, but there's really no good advice besides use a password manager.
