Rather, never save an unencrypted pwd on a computer.
I don't think anybody is going to break through a 1024 bit TrueCrypt key in a hurry.

A 1024 bit key is now considered insecure. IIRC there was a BOINC project set up to break such keys.

However in the case of a thief, they are standing in front of your computer, the one you left on to crunch. That means the volume is already unlocked. Consider that.

That would be stupid, to leave volumes unlocked when you leave the computer unattended...

And of course if the computer would get stolen, you'd have to change all the passwords...

Yes 1024 isn't that much anymore, but with TrueCrypt, you'd have to first find the container.

I used to have 1 password that's a tad different every time, like 1 digit less or more, 1 special character.
Now I use 2 passwords and that's for my login at work for example, facebook, BOINC, home banking, Email,...

Loads (too many), non written down, but some have the context or clue word I need to remember them by.

One main password that is letters and numbers that can be rearranged. Simple for forums, more complicated for e-mail etc.

Paypal has unique password I have never used anywhere else.

Bank has IB code plus keyword, then you have to have the little calculator sized number generator to log in which is itself protected by another unique code.
