Thanks for all the info, I'm paranoid now and going to take a bunch of this advice.

I have a question about password managers, though. I need to log into stuff from all sorts of different computers in my daily life. How does that work with KeePass? You mention that it can be sync'd with dropbox or other services but do I then have to carry a USB drive with the KeePass program/vault file with me wherever I go, and can only log into poo poo if I can get to that computer's USB ports? Or do I have to download it on every new computer, and then connect it to my vault file from dropbox? Sometimes that's not possible or practical (wall-mounted presentation boxes in conference rooms at work etc.). Would I just put it on my phone (iphone, sorry) and pull it up in plaintext and type it in manually when I'm at a new computer, or what?

Sorry if this is dumb.
