It's not me. It's my keychains. The only passwords or phrases that I
need to remember are the ones to unlock my keychains. I stuff pretty
much anything that I want into a password field and let the keychains do
the heavy lifting. I happen to use a FIPS 181 generator because I keep
one handy for when I need to issue temporary passwords.
