The important idea is to ensure that you have a good backup of that password vault (if it breaks down, all is lost).

And more importantly, I would not trust an external company to handle all of my personal passwords (most of them would behave 100% ethically, but one single accident would be too much for my confort). It’s a choice to be made.

What you need is called a Password Manager. All that is, is a place where you can store and organize all of the logins, passwords, codes registrations and even things like frequent flyer numbers and whatnot.

You only have to remember the password to get into your organizer, then you can forget the rest of them because you can just look them up – it makes life SO much easier.

By getting your passwords safely stored and organized, you can make them as ludicrously long, complicated and senseless as need be, without having to commit them to memory.

By using an online service, you can access your passwords 24/7, even when you’re on the road (and without toting around a USB key chain).

Here is an online vs. offline comparison:
