KeePass: One of the most popular password managers out there, KeePass is great because it's open-source, free and cross-platform -- available for Windows, Linux, OS X, and even mobile devices. It keeps all your passwords, online and off, in a secure database, so you only have to remember one master password. Be sure that master password is safe!I've long been a fan of Passwords Plus, which syncs my passwords with my Palm handheld so I've always got them with me. It's not free, but I'd be lost without it.
