   True.  My basic password is the same most places. The variables are
low/high case and a three digit number, with and without a symbol.
   But I seldom remember which is good for where, hence PW managers.  :) 
   Firefox has a built PW manager which will automatically fill in the info
when asked.  I like that feature.
    And I am linked in across all my devices.
    Of course should some bad guy get hold of one of these he would be
bored with my sites: Doc's, local newspaper, You Tube, etc.  No super secret
sites on my machines.  :)
    Well, there is the bank, but its not the compete PW since I have to add
something to what I have saved.
