Managing Passwords (LinkedIn Hacking)

As you may know, about a week ago, LinkedIn's password database was hacked and several million passwords stolen. They were posted on an open server, and are presumably now decrypted and for sale along with the associated user names.

(Or maybe you didn't know? I can't say LinkedIn made any great effort to notify me. Maybe they're hoping we won't notice.)

So this raises an issue. On the one hand, you're not supposed to use the same password for different accounts. On the other hand, who can remember dozens of different passwords?

How do you deal with this?
