KeePass is great, since it's free and it's entirely local; you're not uploading your passwords to some website that's going to be a major target for hackers. The only down side is you have to manually copy your password file to your phone, and you have to be careful about maintaining a backup of the file, since it's not stored in the cloud (unless you put it there). I see Ill look into it Sahuagin posted... because it directly affects the % of accounts that get 'hacked'. when you have way too many support calls about people having their accounts hacked... raise the password strength requirements and you will notice an immediate drop in account hacks. in many cases strong passwords are required in the first place by payment providers.
