I use this utility:
http://www.counterpane.com/passsafe.html

we store this file (which is already encrypted) and encrypt futher with
axcrypt (sourceforge.org) on a thumbdrive.  we have two located in two
safes (in case one thumbdrive fails).

I also keep the utility installation files on a cd in the safe just in
case my pc or the other admin's pc dies. :)

Subject: Password storage tool?



Hi All:

Looking for a utility that we can use enterprise-wide to self-service
passwords.  Things like service accounts, Domain Registrar accounts,
etc...  Right now we do the manual information to an envelope that gets
stored in a safe.

I realize that storing this info on the network is usually a Bad
Thing(tm), but if we can securely encrypt it, it makes it a lot easier
for people to get the info in the time of need (without the gatekeeper
having to drive into the office at 4am).

Looking for real-world stories, ideas, what didn't work, etc...
