I use LastPass to store my passwords. But just in case, all my passwords are also stored in a file on my computer. My home folder is backed up throughout the day to an external drive on my desk, and it's regularly backed up to a drive stored in a fire proof safe. Passwords that can't be recovered from a site administer are written down and stored in the safe.

I read that 20-25 per cent of all bitcoins that have been mined are probably lost forever. I was given .05 bitcoin for opening a wallet when a bitcoin was a nickle. My hard drive crashed and the bitcoin and everything else on my computer was gone forever. I don't intend for that to happen again.
