In my head, of course

It's because of my work mostly.. A lot of different things requiring passwords. If I didn't reuse some of them, the number would easily be somewhere around 100.

12-15 passwords all in my head. But I bow down before Nodsu, I could never remember that may without resorting to writing them down.

Got 19 emails and 3 passwords. One is totally defunct, one is barely used, and the last is: A) stupidly complex (30+ totally random letters and numbers that I remembered) and B) used for everything. Basically if you ever guessed that password, you'd control all my internet accounts.

Too many emails!
7-10 in active use, and some semi active as well...

# of passwords, well... that's not really any of your business...

~15 Emails - 3 used regularly, the others were basically used 1 time only (for newspaper/craigslist.com ads and "questionable" internet signups requiring email validation (reputable sites such as TechSpot have my real Email) )

PW's - I'm not authorized to disclose that information.. hehe.

however, I will tell you that they are all random alphanumeric (no words, names, patterns, consecutive numbers, etc... and all memorized of course ). they'll never guess/figure them out with any brute force technique
