Re: [PLUG] Correct Horse Battery Staple

If you have 300 passwords for 300 sites (some of which you may only access occasionally), and 300 lines of song lyrics can you remember which line of which song goes with which site? I would not be able to do that.

I do something like this with Google and LastPass, the two I
