There's so many people that take such peculiar interest in doing things just to see if they can do them.

I decided to limit my risk, and only use fairly-long passwords made up of random numbers and symbols in upper and lower case.

Naturally, you need a little help with this system. First, I make sure that I use a "Password Safe" program, that lets me keep a copy on a floppy. And then a keyboard shortcut program that can enter a block of text. So, for example, to sign into my Gmail account I can just press F1 + G.

Nice, simple and secure, when it's set up; and it can be done easily and well just using freeware.
