So many passwords

I counted the other day, and I have 52 username-and-password combinations that I use on a daily basis. Granted, this is counting my personal ones, but I really have only about 8 of those (most of them use the same password, which is helpful).

However, it's starting to get ridiculous. I mean, how am I expected to remember all of these. The worst part is about 6 of those must change every 60 days and you can't repeat passwords. In fact, you can't use any of your past 10 PASSWORDS! That's crazy! I've taken to using my relatives birthdays and changing the month to the spelling of the month, etc.



Point being, I might have to take matters into my own hands and standardize all these passwords for the web team. I mean, my memory could be used for better things like the plot intricacies of LOST or possibly all the Muppet Movie dialogue.
