i'm sorry, but i believe, that using any computer program that keeps your passwords in your computers defeats the purpose of using passwords :

if a hacker gets into your computer, they probably pre hacked all major password utilities.

i use a very simple and very effective password registry; i bought an old fashioned address book and keep track of my passwords in alphabetical order.

it has worked for me for over 6 years without any problems and has survived 2 complete hard drive seizures.

sometimes an old fashioned pencil w/eraser is still safer, cheaper, and far more efficient.
