Ilike it for several reasons: 1. Multiple database support - you can keep different vaults of passwords for different groups of people. 2. Uses high-grade encryption. 3. Has Bruce Schneier's stamp of approval. 4. It's free. Password Safe homepage: http://www.counterpane.com/passsafe.html Here's the sourceforge page for it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/- They also say they're working on version 2.0, which will be easier to portacross different platforms.
We also use this program, very handy.
