It's really that simple:
Using the same password for each and every site or webservice is just not an option:
a) because of different and incompatibly password rules and policies
b) for simple security reasons.
If one site gets hacked and passwords leak (and it will and they will) then those nasty nasty people will have access to all (or many) of your accounts.
Creating (much less remembering) 100 separate and secure passwords in your head simply wont work.
So you need a service to do this for you.
I choose LastPass some time ago, and it works great, especially the random password generator, and the auto-fill feature on web-sites and Android apps.
I know, some will say, that LastPass can get hacked and then all my accounts (incl online banking and all) are revealed. True. But still more unlikely than all the other scenarios.
As of today this is the most secure choice for me.
There are others like 1Password, or Apple's key chain... (here's a list). If you don't yet have any of those, get LastPass now.
