Recommendations for Password Management

    Does anybody have any recommendations for a password management utility?

    Ideally, I'm looking for something that would work in Linux and Windows, Generates passwords, and has an easy way to retrieve them. Browser integration would be a plus if it supports firefox, but isn't necessarily a requirement for me.

    I'm just tired of trying to remember passwords for sites I don't visit regularly - like zend.com

    you can save it into your excel sheet. besides, those sites have the "forget password" utility, don't they?

    Now I'm thinking to myself... why would I need a specific application. Of course most utilities I've run into encrypt the passwords - which is a bonus - but not a huge necessity for me since I'm really mostly interested in maintaining passwords for websites that don't maintain a great deal of privacy info.

    Thanks for pointing out the obvious guys :).

    And yes, almost everybody has a password recovery thing, but some of them will make me request my username, then request my password, then generate a new password and it's annoying when all I want to do is download a file.

    Yes. I bought roboform but its free version is powerfull enough. Has very good browser integration (Auto-Fill). Will work with other applications in the next version but they are not planning to have a linux verison unfortunately.
