I would strongly recommend KeePass or the similar KeePassX for individual
users. It's not a great solution for multiple users or shared db, but for
just keeping track of your own passwords they are fantastic. There are also
plugins to extend functionality.

I usually recommend keepass when asked.

It's cross platform too.

If you are using Mac OS X, creating secure notes inside of Keychain
Access.app works very well for me.

Hello Everyone,

I recall a previous post regarding what universities/corporations are
using for managing passwords, passwords to privileged or service accounts.
Not necessarily, tools for end-user support, such as password resets.
Some suggested Password Manager Pro as a good tool.  Just curious what
others might be using or would recommend.

Thank you,
Chris
