I use a different password on each of my major accounts. I have a program
that, given N-1 of the passwords, will output the missing one. So I'm safe
until I forget two passwords at the same time.
(No, the program itself doesn't know my passwords. It only knows the XOR of
a base-95 encoding of them. The source code and data file are readable.)
