I've been using my own password solutions. A 10k open-sourced php single file. It served me well for years.

It has all the feature i need desperately:

-- Never stores any password anywhere... (so no "encryption" needed at all, and this also means you never afraid of those behind-the-scene programmers...)
-- Universally availability, at work, at home, Firefox, IE, etc...
-- No (local) installations. Just a bookmarklet.
-- AJAX interface, filling in login forms automatically.
-- Born to be a Key-Logger trojan defender.

However, there is nothing in this world really perfect. Here comes the shorts:

-- You need to find your own PHP-host to put this 10K file on.
-- I'm personally *weak* at marketing this tool, though I think it's the best ever one.

If you are interested, you could have a look at here:

Sorry if the site's too simple for now. My last words about it is: since it's only a 10K php file, I have absolutely *NOTHING* to hide. All codes are under your nose and I think this is the most important point for any passwords managers.

back -- Encryption is a necessity, you should consider adding it-- what if the person hosting your program gets hacked? If they do they now have to change their passwords on every site, and worry what happened in the mean time. They may not even notice they've been hacked, and therefore would be in an extremely vulnerable position.

Also...http is a pretty insecure way to access data. No way would I ever access a password list that way.
