Hundreds?  Really?

I'd be afraid that the such a yubikey device gets electrically  
compromised, or lost. I've developed apparently "dead" usb  
thumb drives at the least convenient moments. I've also lost a  
couple of usb drives detaching from my key chain.

I've came up with a formula for most sites that I need to  
access with a password based on the sitenames.  That way my  
"yubikey" is in my head, and I can always figure out the  
password based on the formula.  I actually have 3 different  
formulas depending on how many syllables are in the sitename or  
how many distinct words are part of the company name.

For inconsequential sites, I let my browser remember them.
