    I use the old school method of writing them down on post it notes and sticking them on my monitor.

    My encryption method is called 'my handwriting' which only I can decipher.

    Seriously would never trust a password protection tool. It would be like xmas for a hacker if he got in there and chances are they would eventually.

    I use Firefox to store my website passwords...

    But i've added (or removed) diffrent letters or numbers from each password, so even though Firefox remembers them, I need to add in or remove a letter or number for the password to work!

    20 is excessive, unless you have 20 bank accounts
