Basically you only ever have to remember any two words
The biggest difference between any2words and other password generators is that, while they store your details on their servers - which means they could be hacked and you lose everything - we store nothing on our servers about you. Eveything you need is contained in the app you install on your device.
Once you unlock the app with your two secret words you can use the same two words to generate many uniquely encrypted passwords
From our evaluation studies, we found that most people typically use some combination of two words to generate all the passwords they use for the myriad websites and other things that need a password to open. This means you have to remember all the various combinations of those two words. What any2words does is to reduce this to the same two words for everything. That means you only ever have to remember only those two words!
As long as you never let anyone know what your two secret words are, and don't record them anywhere, then no-one can ever unlock your passwords, becasue the actual password generated by the app is largely incomprehensible - gobbledygook!
More importantly you are in complete control of this becasue the app works on anything anywhere. Therefore, if you lost your device or it was stolen, your passwords can still not be cracked - because the user would still need to know your two secret words! And, because nothing is stored on our servers, the app doesn't need to call home to authenticate - it works offline - because everything needed is contained in your app that sits on your device!
Go to: chrome.google.com/webstore
Search: any2words
When you see this icon click the add to chrome button.
Click the Add extension button.
This installs the extension on your browser.
It is best not to use the Chrome/Google synchronise option as you will need to add all your websites to each device later anyway. And, by installing separately on each device you know you have the latest version installed.
Once installed, you should see this icon in the top right corner of your browser.
If you click on the icon, the first screen should appear:
Chose any sensible two-word combination that is easy to remember - but never share them with anyone, write them down, or store them anywhere.
Enter your secret two words, and click on Add Site:
The next screen should appear:
Enter a website name and URL and click Save Site:
Now you can generate your first unique password (if you closed the app and opened it again, you will need to put your secret two words in again).
Click the button with the name of the website you just added (in this case myBank).
You should see the message "Copied to Clipboard" popup:
Open the website you want to login/register your password for.
After entering a username, click in the password field and right-mouse-button 'paste', or ctrl+v, to paste your unique any2words password.

Try your password again (steps 5 & 8) with the changed paramaters:
Voila! Success!
In future, you only need to click on the any2words icon in the top right corner of your browser, enter your secret two words, click on your saved website, and paste your unique password (steps 5, 8 & 10).
