Ween yourself!

Next time you login to an existing account, change the password and
write the new one down on a piece of paper.  Next time you register for
a new account somewhere, write down that password, too.  Fold up the
paper and put it in your wallet.  Make a photocopy "backup" now and then
and store it away from your wallet.

Slowly you will become safer and safer from all those nasty people on
the net.

Or, for greater security, for protection from not just bad people on the
net (many) but also bad people who might physically find your wallet  or
"backup" copy (fewer), put your list of passwords in an encrypted form. 
(Backup it, too.)


Do others have suggestions for how to best encrypt these collected
passwords?
