password question.
As more and more websites need passwords/usernames/prompt questions, and each site having different requirements for length/numbers/capitals/ID questions/etc, I find my getting old brain is having trouble remembering them all. Is there a safe application that can store them all? I could make a FileMaker Pro database, but worried that it's not secure enough. Currently, I don't have *any* of them written down. Thoughts? Advice?
Oh, I'm on a Mac.
Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Manager will probably fit your needs. If not, there are payware alternatives available.

omnis,
I love 1password.
It is really fabulous for remembering all my passwords. The one area where it does not do well is multiple gmail passwords, but beyond that it has everything including my credit cards.
I also have it synching to another computer through dropbox and that works fine as well. it has an extension for firefox and safari.
I posted mine before seeing Tom's link. Does Keychain Manager handle web login passwords?
Yeah, there's still lots of Mac stuff I don't know....
Does Keychain Manager handle web login passwords?
Safari keeps all of its passwords in the keychain.
Oh. Safari.
I mostly just use Safari when I go to the Apple store. (It makes installing Dashboard Widgets easier.)
