I let programs keep most of mine for things like websites, e-mail etc. On the other hand that data is encryped and i keep my computer well locked down. I keep my sensative info in PGP files, 4000bit key and passphrase that is a paragraph out of an extremely obscure book, in the middle of it. Total of 6 passwords, mixed case alphanumeric. What worries me is that out logins for VTAC (the system for choosing our uni course applications) cannot be changed, our login numbers are easy to access and our password is made up out of our date of birth, so it is extremely easy to access someone else's account.
