I doubt my new password will be any safer, so I can't really use one which follows my current pseudo-random patterns.

I'm now convinced that password managers, with random generated passwords, are the way to go. At least they have a strong incentive to focus on protecting user data. Still scared of not knowing my own passwords, and giving them to a third party, though.



Agreed, I would never trust my passwords to a private third-party with closed code-base. And KeePass still seems a little meh, especially regarding device support. So for now I'm using an encrypted file synced with DropBox.
