This one fits in the third category and has a lot of different features such as iPhone compatibility and a Facebook application. It has top level security like the rest of its competitors but still stresses easy usability. Go check it out. I use another online password manager called Mashed Life.

The Windows passwords work fine, the Palm is problematic. To the best of my knowledge, the text file approach is the ONLY system that works across PCs and the Palm, but I'm not happy with that. Has anyone else here got a better suggestion? I use three Windows PCs (1 Vista, 2 flavours of XP) and a Palm. The Windows passwords work fine, the Palm is problematic.

The program will accept your own passwords or generate them for you.

I also use RoboForm with FolderShare - and it works great. But why the heck do they no make a Mac client? Most 1Password users are former RoboForm users (including the developers) so they would have a market. Of course, the 1Password dudes refuse to build a Windows version. Web based password managers are cool - but not a full replacement for client side ones. (Windows basic auth is one technical reason.) The big issue is its not one-click if you first have to go to another site. It is very cool to have though when you are borrowing a computer... And do any of these solutions support entering passwords on a Flash app? The ideal solution has certainly yet to be made...

I use it all of the time and it takes all of the menial everyday tasks that I have to perform on my computer daily and shortens them extremely! What once took me fifteen minutes to complete now takes me only one second because RoboForm does the same task with just one click. In fact I wrote a Report about a lot of RoboForm’s capabilities for use that aren’t even touched on in the User’s Manual for RoboForm.
