300-400 passwords... when I worked for one of the largest computer companies in the world we used to have lots of passwords and had to change them every 30 days. Then they changed everything... one password for everything BUT it had to be a phrase of at least 25 characters with at least one upper, one number and one symbol, changed every 30 days. Man that made things easier for the brain.
Many companies use single password because they are using a central logon facility like LDAP just so their employees can have only one password and not spend all day signing onto different systems.
Do I trust the folks at rv.net and trawlerforum.com to not be able to peek at my password? No, so it is different from my "money" passwords. Do I care if the folks at rv.net manage to get into my trawlerforum.com account? Not in the least. So in the end I have a couple of really strong passwords for my "money" accounts and only 2 or 3 for everything else.
