The passwords are actually all in one file which is password protected or file protected or both. Of course you need KeePass to open it but you can always download KeePass or keep a copy of the file on a flash drive or on a different hard drive. The same with the file that contains your passwords, just keep a separate copy somewhere. I tend to name the password file by date so I know which is newer. As long as you are religious about keeping a back-up then you will never lose your list of passwords. And the bigger my file has ever gotten is like 20kb. Hey Gene,

I've never heard of KeePass Password Safe, so I can't compare, but Password Safe works very well. I use the original Password Safe, as touted by Bruce Schneier (http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/).
