I second the endorsement for LastPass. I have over 200 passwords, 
all unique to each site and all random characters, symbols, and 
numbers between 12-64 characters in length (64 unless the site 
restricts password length). There is a lot of peace of mind 
knowing any site hacks that occur are isolated to one site and 
not all the sites I used the password for.
