Why do you need 1 for each service you use?

I just use 1 common password for every non-critical service and I make that password different from my email password. I stick with the same username as well.

I use 1 separate password for my critical services, and store it in EverNote, and I just copy/paste it when I log-in.

It's not such a huge pain. We as tech people always tend to over-abstract solutions to problems. But it has worked for the most part for 10+ years. Ask any regular internet user and they will tell you it's not a big deal. It's only when we invent new ways of logging in like FB Connect, when users start getting angry and spoiled, asking us "Where's FB connect?!".
