Multiplatform password manager recommendation


Hello everyone,

It looks like I need a way to gather my passwords and put them in ONE place, instead of having them spread out on the three computers I use on a daily basis. That's a Windows XP laptop, Macbook Pro and a Fedora 9 box. Right now I'm using the Revelation manager on Fedora and I like it a lot - mainly because it's so simple. On my Mac (Leopard) I have a few passwords stored in Keychain.. I still find the app a tiny bit too confusing but to be honest I've never had the time to sit down and take a deeper look, read some docs etc. No password manager installed on XP.

Now, the way I'd like to set this up is to have the password file on my pendrive and be able to load it up and open in a manager on any of those three systems - of course with the ability to make changes, remove and add new passwords.

Any suggestions? I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

Or maybe I should just dump all the passwords in one place, like, store them in Keychain on my Mac?

Thanks for any input.

A simple solution: what about a digitally encrypted plain text file with your passwords using GPG/PGP?

I'm sure GPG is crossplatform.

.. I just hate going too far when looking for solutions, and lately I've been doing it often.. too often.

Thanks a lot, harishankar. Problem solved.
