I have ~16 different passwords that I regularly use for various sites/accounts/etc. that I enter manually (without saves/password managers). Those are what I use probably on a bi-weekly basis. They do rotate and change every few months. There are a few that I just have saved in a text file that I copy pasta because I doubt that if anyone hacked me they would be interested in logging into those accounts. If anyone hacked those sites, they probably wouldn't be able to tell if my password was plain text or encrypted.
That's funny, I know someone who bookmarks sites and names the bookmark their password.

how different are they? my mom has a "system" to prevent hacking where she does something like "passwordEBAY" for ebay, then "passwordGOOGLE" for google, and that makes her feel good. I mean, I'm happy she's using unique passwords per site, but if she hits a site that uses very poor encryption standards like single DES, they could deduce passwords for other sites.
