Roboform is just so powerful in this area. I have never seen anything that even gets close. Aside from all it features it keeps each login it saves in an individual file. This means that if you need to sync several pc's (laptop, desktop etc) with the same roboform data it is trivial since it is not all kept in one big file that may change on both ends before the next sync happens. Add to that palm compatability, pocket pc compatability. Easily maintains numerous identities on and on and on.....

KeePass - The Open-Source Password Safe

Open-Source: 'cus others could re-check the source for security leaks,
so this soft should be a little bit more secure.

Another vote for RoboForm - it also gets better all the time with new bits and bobs added (like its customisable search engine in the current version).

Actually the application is so good it is one reason why Opera will never become a regular use browser for me (however good it is).

RoboForm works great in Internet Explorer and Mozilla based browsers (inc. Firefox and Netscape).

Also so far updates and upgrades have been free after the initial purchase of the Pro version.

Passpack by DS Software (Dariusz Stanislawek)
http://members.ozema...etv/freezip/freeware

Not so many features but tiny - the .EXE is less than 15K - no-install, fast and free

I have so many passcards that the other day I was looking for one that I was not sure I had/existed. I figured it must have a search function although I did not see it (it's right there on the toolbar in the form of a searc box). Thanks for the pointer You just made me feel really dumb...

I totaly agree about opera which I bought, used it allot and loved it till I discovered roboform. Add to roboforms virtues that it seems to work with any program that uses the ie engine to display pages. After antivirus, roboform tends to be the second app I install after I reinstall a machine.

Add to this that RoboForm is now available in a form that can be used with USB sticks ...

Hi! I use a password manager also. I don't need an auto filler as I use Firefox and it does that job well. Anyway I use it to save passwords from software, forums, email accounts, whatever.

The one I use is called Oubliette. The author also has a few other excellent open source apps.

I use KeePass & RoboForm.

RoboForm is pretty much web based (i.e., for website logins) &
KeePass is pretty much a general password manager (but can also be used for websites ;D)

also they are both capable of storing text, things such as reg numbers, and other stuff - encrypted of course :)

KeePass for my accounts and I even use it to login to websites. Also with KeePass you can attach files into each entry.

I love Keepass but I have been copying all my stuff over to Evernote. Why? Because I can encrypt text notes in it and I always have it running.

Another vote for roboform and an agreement that Opera will never make it to my default browser because of the fact that roboform cannot add support to opera due to opera's restrictions.
