I know that with bitcoin you can create a brain wallet.

I have done this via electrum for Stratis and Bitcoin.

Is it possible to do this with any coin? If not, which ones can we do it with?

I saved the code from the original brainwallet.org site before they removed it.

Anyway, basically you take a hash-256 of the secret phrase to create your secret exponent, from there you can use that secret exponent to create your private & public key.

I keep a brainwallet for bitcoin up at: http://www.paganmind.com/_BrainWallet.html

For an example of another coin, check out the Myriadcoin brainwallet: https://cryptap.us/myr/brainwallet/

The Myriadcoin brainwallet was modified from the original brainwallet.org site. I recognize it.

I have played around with brainwallets for a long time and will warn you that they can be tricky for altcoins. Many of the altcoin wallets don't work well (or even have the option) to import private keys. You often will have to build tx by hand and push the tx manually.

I own/author the Facebook brainwallet page.

Is it not dangerous? I may not be the brightest person in the world, but if I don't use my debit card, that I have had for years, for a few weeks, I can be left stood looking stupid until the 4 digits come back to me.

I use Lastpass, and there I have a strong password that I remember, but that means I only need to remember 1 password.

Using several brain wallets long term either means writing them down, which is dangerous, or having a great memory, or forgetting them!  Unless you vary the one brain wallet you have slightly, which won't offer the protection you want.
