a friend of mine started using password phrases instead of regular passwords, like full sentences with proper grammar and stuff.
they are easier to remember and still hard to crack for most malware.
i myself used only three different passwords for all my online stuff, mostly because all financial actions still required my bank tan or my phone.
quite some time ago though i got my mail account (i think it was gmail) hacked and had to unbook some payments. nothing lethal, just some clash of clans money.
i then redid ALL my passwords, starting with the most vital ones like email (since most password changes would still be worth nothing if the hacker can simply log into your email account and request a password reset).
im still using pretty unsecure passwords for nonvital accounts like LFE (no financial benefit from hacking it whatsoever).
i also created a junkmail account for not so secure looking sites (hello pron).
i want to start using a manager some time, right now i simply have an encrypted archive on my devices. its a bit of a hassle to read out my passwords, but i kinda got used to it and usually i dont need them that often.
