Do yourself a favor, get a password manager, and get used to using it.  Such things are becoming quite common and will more than likely be a part of whatever business you go into in future.  Lord knows I'm up to 38 different passwords at my work, most of which have similar requirements as stated above, AND have to be changed every 90 days.  :dizzy:

If your company were doing it correctly you'd be using your network login to get into all of the internal apps.  Password managers aren't the way going forward - LDAP based single sign on is the way.

Will Password Safe run in the background and fill out forms automatically, or at least intelligently with a click or two?  The reason I only use a few different passwords is because I don't want to stop what I'm doing and look up passwords for every site I need to log into, of which there are probably at least a hundred by now.  I'm willing to accept a bit of risk in return for a bit of convenience.  The Firefox password manager is awesome, but not something I think to back up when I reformat my computer, so I end up losing all that pretty regularly.

ChadTower:

Damn how often do you reformat the drive?   ;D
