we probably all know this problem: we have dozens of accounts all over the web that require a password and to be safe you need a different password for each. now i've heard about password storage programs (i haven't used it yet), and on one side i think its really usefull because you don't have to remember all your passwords, but on the other, with one password someone could unlock every account you have.

what do you guys think about these programs and if you think they're reliable, could you give me a link to a really good one?

+1, just use the integrated one... To be honest I don't trust even that (spyware can easily steal those from you), therefore I use about 3 different passwords, and if one doesn't work I just try the other ones, although I usually remember which one I used where.

At least Firefox has a built in one. You can set a master password for it as well. I never used it.

Like lots of other's said, LastPass is really good.

However, as you said it does only use 1 password to access them all, So I would recommend coming up with a 20+ Char. Password and writing it down somewhere. If nobody else uses the computer, you can even set it to Auto Log in for you.

As a bonus, they also have opens for 1 time passwords (Basically you want to log in, say at the library, but didn't trust using your real password, so you just use it, and it 'dies' after that use) and a Grid you can print out which every time you log in it will tell you what to enter from the grid.

Im using KeePass at work because of huge amount of passwords and their periodical changes. Its useful if you only plan to use it on one PC since its offline and file with passes is stored locally. 256bit encryption of master password to this file, so its quite useful if you use secure password.
