Just use an incredibly strong password you couldn't possibly ever forget and use it for email. Then use password reset with a randomly generated string every time you have to login somewhere.

Because really, email is effectively the only password which matters.

Don't do this. Submit a story the normal way, not with a blank URL. Stories with blank URLs are penalized (or were at one point) but, more importantly, submissions to HN are community property, and the person who happens to submit a link first is not entitled to a special commentary at the top of the thread.

Ah. Didn’t know that
