Best practice for OS logins?

So, I get the ideal of having just "One Master Password" and letting 1Password handle everything else. I love that ideal, actually. However, I still have to remember a password to log into my computer at work. I need to log into my computer at home too, but I don't want to use the same password I use for work. So, at minimum, I actually have 3 master passwords to remember, correct?

Does Agile recommend 3 distinct passwords for this scenario? Or would Agile say that using the same password for these 3 is fine?

    @kazooless‌ It's true that you may want to keep several passwords memorized.

    I keep 4 memorized.

    • My login password for my computer.
    • My Apple ID/iCloud password.
    • My Dropbox password (I need this to access my 1Password.agilekeychain sync file).
    • My 1Password Master Password.

    Now, the key is to keep these secure and unique, but also memorable. I do this by using the advice laid out for making better Master Passwords, as that same advice can apply to the other three unique passwords I need to know.
