My long-term memory is stuffed with things I memorized out of necessity or boredom when I was a kid--my Aunt Marie's phone number, my high school locker combination, mnemonic devices that I made up, the punch line to a joke. So, I figure if I still remember them today, they will be around for a while longer and I assign them to sites as a password is needed. Then, I add the site to a list on my desktop with just the clue. The list is of no use to anyone but me.
