Any password service that is used regularly (and backed up) is better than nothing, but RoboForm has been around a long time and certainly works great. I think RoboForm still is a great service.

I really like the SplashID app for the iPhone and desktop companion for syncing...redundancy baby! It also includes a password generator. Cool plugin for WordPress…thanks.

Make sure you backup your bookmarks. I'm sure you are if you came up with a cool idea like this, though. Excellent idea…very innovative. Make sure you backup your bookmarks.

I'll checkout these tools you have listed, and get to using them immediately... with over 500 passwords to remember, this should make the job much easier. Also like to note that for Wordpress, there is a plugin called wp-security (and others) that have a built-in secure password generator to help you out when creating accounts, either in wordpress, or for any other service.

Right-click on the bookmark, select Properties. Of course, this doesn't work for most other browsers, as they don't have a similar field. It's almost as convenient as an online password service; there is no worry about a service being hacked or going out of business; the hints are automatically saved with any bookmark backup; hints rather than passwords lowers the risk of your own computer being hacked.
