The net result of impossible passwords is they get written on some paper since putting them anywhere else only means someone else will steal them. If you use some kind of password manager, you have no guarantee of whether the author will sell you out and you have no idea of what, if any, internal security exists within the software.
Therefore, two of them are written down and the others will follow as I go through the forget / replace cycle with each one of them.
The problems with Bank of America were still, I believe, due to failure in their code as that repeatedly failed even when I had only changed the password the day before. It went on for maybe a couple of weeks and then it stopped without a problem since.
There's no need for an extended litany on passwords as I'm sure you hate them as much as I and, maybe after so many years in systems, I can't believe no-one ever came up with a better way.
The devices which beam passwords don't add anything in particular because the bad guy only needs a receiver and then wait for the passwords to come to him. That hack, I believe, has already happened more than once. Your best security when fueling your automobile is still either cash or a card since those can't be detected with some creep's illegal receiving device. If you think illegal makes a difference, you're living in a dream world.
