Another tip is doing something like this.
You use the password lol donkaments.
Your name is John Doe.
Your lucky hand is J9.
First make lol donkaments one word loldonkaments.
Then change some letters to numbers: 1o1donkam3nts for example.
Then add your initials JDl101donkam3nts
Then add your lucly hand JD101donkam3ntsJ9
Then for fulltiltpoker use ftp_JD101donkam3ntsJ9
Then for pokerstars use ps_JD101donkam3ntsJ9
Then for partypoker use pp_JD101donkam3ntsJ9
etc.
It wont help to protect you from keyloggers but It will make you have a safer password and this is what we are using at work, but not exactly the same ofc [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Open a random book. Take the first letter from each paragraph. Or sentence. Or last letter. You get the idea.

If you are infected with a keylogger or are just worried about that possibility, open up a text editor whenever you're about to log in, and alternate your typing between the login window and the text editor. Pain in the butt, but it'd be a much bigger pain in the butt to reconstruct your password from your keystrokes this way.

I liked the copy paste from text file idea. But, someone posted that it isnt foolproof.

But, the above idea of opening a text window and alternately typing sounds very good.

Could this be useful in preventing keyloggers?
