What does this group use for password management?

Just curious ... I recently got 1Password but there seems to be some overlap between it and Keychain. The two seem to work okay together but I'm wondering if it's overkill. Thanks for your thoughts.

For example (and this is not an actual password), suppose I had an online bank account. I might call it "playss4munnEE."

Looking at a standard QWERTY layout for example, a password may be the every other letter from two rows across, like "qetuoadgjl," or diagonally up and down, like "1q3e5t7u9o."

Been using it since it came out. Other than Onyx, and Carbon Copy Cloner, it is the only third party utility app that I use.

Because whenever you forget your password, it will tell you what it is.
