A buddy at work is looking for a program that is easy to use & secure to store a few dozen passwords, I thought there was multiple freeware applications that did this but some quick searching didn't turn up anything mind-blowing - do any of you use a utility like this?
 
I thought about that, but he wants a program/software solution - and like I said I thought there was freeware to do this? But perhaps I was mistaken.
 
Keepass. Search in. There's also a Windows Mobile version and the database is compatible between both. I love it.
 
I will um... write one :)

Make sure whatever it is it is a good and reputable program, otherwise you may have something that is just going to steal them.
 
Thank you curtis - open source was what I was hoping for I'll have him give them a try!
 
KeyPass and PasswordSafe are both very nice, but I'm fairly partial to Password Gorilla myself. It's built on PasswordSafe, allows merging of databases, it has a user-selectable idle database locking time (so after a few minutes if you happen to leave your desk noone can access your passwords), and it's platform independent (although in *nix I run it through WINE since I'm lazy). It allows sub-groups for login types and you can save comments, urls, etc. for each password set within the database.

I like how I can take my database with the binary on a usb key and only have to remember a single password. If you need to add passwords from work or whatever, you can later simply merge the two databases and have a full organized list.
