I use a randomly generated password from LastPass. I have no idea what it is, so I can only access it from my laptop (with the Firefox LastPass Add-on). That combined with LeechBlock is pretty effective.
I could go to the LastPass site on another machine, I suppose. But I do store other, more important passwords on LastPass and don’t want to expose those. And it takes only nominal inconvenience to prevent me from jumping into FB.
can I ask why this is rot13′d? I don’t want to read it and find out that it breaks the placebo efffect or something, which was my first thought of why it might be.

(These days I just use a ridiculously long password, and log out of Facebook anywhere except on my laptop, where I have LeechBlock installed.)

It describes a way to escape a precommitment, which certain people in certain situations might be better off not knowing.
I rather suspect that most people have encountered ‘forgot my password’ links before.
Yes, but it might not have occurred to them to use them in that situation.
