I had 13 login attempts from South America, Asia and Middle East. My login details have been leaked in several leaks, latest being the Adobe leak. And even though I've had strong password, my fault's been that I've used the same password in lots of places.

Luckily the Adobe leak was the final straw and I finally started to use a good password manager and super strong, distinct passwords in all the services I'm using. It wasn't that bad at all, just selecting a good password manager[1], strong encryption and an easy way to sync your passwords between devices (git), I've had no trouble at all with strong passwords.

Although it would be nice to have an Android app for the password manager. I think it's a nice excersize for writing my first Android app at some point...

I use Keepass, which has an Android client. Sync is via Dropbox, soon (I hope) to shift to git-annex.
