Well there's bad news and good news.
By now you should know that passwords can be stolen and used by the bad guys. As the recent RSA attack and Gawker Hacks showed, you don't even have to be particulary careless yourself, it can be the web site you deal with or any one of a thousand drive by exploits, phishing scams or whatever.
This really only matters a lot if you use the same password for multiple uses. But you know you shouldn't do this but how else can you remember them all?
Luckily quality help is now at hand. Filterjoe has a review of password solutions here, you'd be nuts not to use one of them when you consider the risk of someone gaining access to (say) your bank account. I've been using 1password on my computers and it works a treat.
