With a very large number of web sites now requiring logins and passwords,
I find myself picking an awful lot of weak, similar-looking passwords.
This isn't out of laziness, it's just because I don't want to bother
memorizing 10 different passwords, particularly not for web sites which I
only grudgingly deal with in the first place. I have other things to waste
brain cells on, thankyouverymuch. The alternative is to write them all
down in one place, which I might start doing in the future, but for the
time being I think I'm engaging in an emminently reasonable response to
lots of web sites putting a completely unfair password memorization burden
on me.
