Password management

I use a program to keep all of my passwords but it's kind of clumsy. It works for me but I would not really recommend it to your basic everyday user. Anyone have a nice easy to use solution?

I know of something that never crashes and is impossible for hackers to crack. It is called paper.

I checked it out, it looks nice and they have several different ways to use it.

Yes, that's what my wife does and it drives me crazy. We have a business that does B2C and B2B, lots of vendor sites to log into and we do some web development/management which each site has a login to the back end along with their hosting accounts and some domain registrants along with all the other usual sites so the list is long. If that disappears even if it's just misplaced I might have a baby heart attack.
I just did a quick count of my accounts and passwords, all needed. The number is at 94.

I keep mine in a database in a shorthand notation that would be meaningless to others. Also dump it to paper as it is things change.

I've used a cypher since my childhood days. I choose a word, encode it with the cypher and record it on a notepad that I keep in a secure location. When I have to use a computer, I use Keychain Access.
