I use lastpass with yubikey.

Password to lastpass is long and completely unique - not used anywhere else.

lastpass generates and maintains passwords for all sites - they are all 16 characters long (long passwords are key for preventing bruteforce typically), unique, and they all contain numbers, upper and lower case characters, and symbols.

The thought process is - if one of the passwords is compromised (hacked site, brute force, etc.), the same password will not be usable on other sites. I had this happen in my WoW days.

Edit: I have the lastpass app trusted on my phone so I have access on the go.
