Another one to check out is the cross-platform and portable KeePass (Windows) and KeePassX (other platforms) password safe.

In a related area, you can also use http://www.bugmenot.com/ to avoid having to create a userid/password if you want to look up something one time only.

I am terribly old-school and have a book I keep beside the computer with all my passwords in it.
For my banking pins, I have them memorized and written down on a paper that I have in my safety deposit bank in bank...in the event our house is broken into I didn't want that pin recorded within the premises. Yes, a bit obsessive-compulsive behaviour here I think... hehe. It works for me at any rate, Susan. |
