It gets worse if you use multiple computers.  It's a nightmare trying to
do something that's accessible on all, and secure.  Whether that be
letting applications remember passwords, and I'm severely pissed with
browsers that can't remember passwords because some *utterly*
*unimportant* site thinks they should block your browser from doing so
(though I don't object to a bank site doing that), or having a special
password safe application.  I can remember but a few passwords off the
top of my head.

Online password managers such as Lastpass or Dasher are a way round this, and also can generate complex random passwords for you that you don't have to remember. Of course you then have to trust them to work properly, but as their entire business depends on them getting it right and the data they store is encrypted and decrypted locally using a single key known only to you, it seems to be a reasonable compromise. Unfortunately they tend to be closed-source.

I use keepassx. It's a good application for this.
