So, just take something that is easy to remember (for you), and hash it using md5, sha-1 or something similar. You'll get a password that will be hella-hard to break for crackers, but you'll easily be able to get it any time you want. Just remember to keep your encryption app/page somewhere handy
good idea. i've been meaning to stop using 123abc anyway

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
