As you know, not every password scheme or tool works for everybody. You need to use a system that works best for you, one that is simple enough to be foolproof and practical in daily use but secure enough to guard your digital life.

But as recent headlines have made clear, no site is completely safe from break-ins and the username and password you used at site X, Y, and Z may go on sale to the highest bidder without your knowledge at any time.
