I have used Password Safe for years. It does a good job for me as I have close to 1,000 passwords across a huge number of systems that I need to use. I have transferred almost all of the ones I used to save in Excel years ago, prior to knowing about PS, but still have some need to access a few of those occasionally.

Unmentioned in the article is an issue the industry needs to address, which is that a lot of vendors develop software that requires a specific password in order to function. Sometimes these are database accounts and passwords, sometimes they are internal application accounts, but I have seen vendors request network accounts that must have a particular name and password.

Anyone setting up one of these systems at a customer, knows the passwords for every customer of that product!

In my case, probably 90% of the software our organization uses has at least one of these issues.
