We use Thycotic's Secret Server (http://www.thycotic.com/products_secretserver_overview.html), which is server-based 
(Win2k8 + ASP.NET<http://ASP.NET> + SQL Server). It supports multi-user access, two-factor authentication, audit 
logging, and all that good enterprise-level stuff. We've been using it for a little over a year now and have been quite 
happy with it.

Hello-

Could anyone share a best practice with regard to the storage and safe keeping of the collection of all system 
passwords?  Is using a keepass type application the best approach?  What about redundancy in the event you can't get to 
the stored list or it is corrupt?

Any advice and/or opinions would be very helpful.

Thanks
Stacy
