I think Jon Udell has an excellent approach to password management. Far better than my own. In fact, I'm one of those people guilty of using a single, albeit strong, password for both low-value and high-value accounts. I really like the idea of using different passwords for low-value and high-value accounts. Having watched Jon's screencast detailing how the Password Generator can be used to create and manage unique passwords, I'm determined to start categorizing my accounts by value and using the password generator for them.

I wonder, though, what the reason is for not using the password generator to create passwords for high-value accounts? I really don't want the hassle of creating a unique password for each of my high-value accounts - bank, credit card, employee benefits - or even my medium-value accounts - Amazon, Best Buy, and so on.
