If you make use of a password manager, most likely it is a program installed on your computer. Many of you most likely use the remember user name and password function of your browser as well. The problem comes if you use multiple computers such as a home and work machine and this information is machine specific. As a potential solution, you might want to look at LastPass Password Manager.

Count me in as skeptical. I put Password Safe on my USB drive, along with my password file. Works anywhere.
Hey, that Password Safe look pretty cool. Just what I have been needing, without realising it. Cheers.
All my passwords … online ??? No way!
But I could never be completely sure that an employee at that website would not use my passwords to access my bank account, VPN, SSH, TS-Gateway, etc…
Right now I’m using Roboform and it help me a lot to remember all my passwords.
Great tool really, because i know that its essential everyone to have backup of their passwords..
I use Billeo ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12715 ) to manage my passwords. It securely saves them and I can easily edit or delete them anytime. Also the tool is VeriSign secured and TRUSTe certified, so no security issues.
I use Mitto (http://mitto.com), a safe and easy to use online password manager. They are verified daily against vulnerabilities by McAfee and certified by TRUSTe. I used to use Roboform, but this is a lot nicer.
