Password management that doesn't suck - Ask DLS
So it took me about a decade, but I've finally reached the breaking point: I have too many usernames and passwords to remember. This came to a head today as I tried to log into a handful web sites to change some billing information and had to make multiple tries to get into half of them, even having to click on the dreaded "Forgot your password?" link once. Enough! There are dozens and dozens of programs out there designed just to solve this problem, but the trouble is figuring out which ones are crap and which ones are good. And that's where you come in, dear readers:What's the best password-management app for your money? Here are my criteria: Super easy to use, unobtrusive (keyboard access a big plus), works on Windows, works with Firefox, secure (duh), and fairly configurable. Also, as you know, I'm incredibly cheap, so free or very inexpensive are high on my list.
Can you help me out? Leave your recommendations in the comments below.

I have been using Allpass for quite sometime now. Its a small program that I think works very well for storing allot of passwords. The only problem with it is that it only works with IE. otherwise, very simple to use and very small program.

I looked at KeyPass this holiday season and decided against it b/c of its poor browser integration. I ended up with Roboform for my PC and 1Passwd for the Mac. Hated having to buy 2 distinct programs, but I felt (and still do), that the browser was the key.

I've been using RoboForm for several years and it's doing a great job. Yeah, it costs a few bucks but it's well worth the price. (software isn't free you know! Cheapskates!)
