Password manager

I also like KeePass Password safe.  They have a portable version that you
can run off a USB stick.  It also supports multiple databases in case you
want to keep separate databases (e.g. one for home and one for work).  I
also really like the function that allows you to create pseudo-random
passwords of varying complexity and size (great for those applications -
such as banking - that you want to make sure have a really secure password).
It also allows you to store notes with your passwords.  I find this valuable
for those silly sites that require you to provide "secret" answers to
questions. Just type in the questions in the notes section along with some
nonsense made-up answers and you are set.  

Unfortunately, as others have pointed out, I don't think it supports MAC.

Subject: [Pauldotcom] Password manager

All,

I, like everyone else, have 10's and 10's of passwords and PIN's and  
paper simply doesn't cut it - a password manager it is then!

So my main machine is a Mac but I also use various OS's and I have an  
iPhone. I'm heading off for a holiday shortly and will be taking the  
iPhone and a netbook with me and will need access to the passwords and  
PIN's.

I'm trying to find a secure method where I can access these passwords  
and PIN's from anywhere I want using anyone of those devices and OS's.

Anyone have any suggestions to how is best to do this and also which  
apps you would recommend?

Regards,

K41zen
