Microsoft security guru: Jot down your passwords

This makes a lot of sense to me – I use variations of the same password on multiple websites, depending on the strength allowed or enforced, but would like to have different passwords in different places.  My solution?  My Pocket PC – I have a password saving app on my Dell Axim that I use to store these passwords (along with other sensitive info).  Protecting the info is the key, and by storing the passwords behind an encryption layer, all I need to do is remember one password to get into it.  My software?  MyCodes Lite, as I can store other info there as well (like CC numbers and other sensitive data), and it’s freeware as well.
