I brilliantly solved this problem by having same username and password for all the forums I was participating in. But that was way before digg even was a thing, I don't even remember where I should start looking again

I had a common usename and a common first 6 letters of the password. Then 3 numbers that were different from each forum and that was written down. Not great, but it would take some serious leaps of logic even if my system was compromised. I also took password generation more seriously if it was attached to a payment system, so things like Amazon, ebay or PayPal had much larger, more random passwords.
