Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your passwords?

I tried the identifier route before, but there's always a few smart aleks who detect and refuse dictionary words, maybe even the domain name (can't remember exactly). These types of "systems" that live in your head, would be the best way to go if it weren't for banking, financial institutions, and government run websites.
With that being said I use LastPass for the high priority stuff and 1 basic password for sites I could care less about. Never lost one of those basic accounts yet.

I use a variation of the identifier route which is to take the identifier and drop all the vowels from it. So not only do I get something that is easy to recreate it's also not in the dictionary.
