I use KeePass to keep track of the various usernames and passwords I use. I generally use the same password on a majority of sites and change it regularly — I know bad idea.
I like KeePass because it can also generate good passwords for you. Things like !)(*)@LLLJDLKSJDIIijsladksjiiisdjsldasjLKJl##33 if you like. Then you do not need to remember the password you just log into your keypass file and tell it to auto type or copy and paste like I do.
Are there any reasons to use it over a text pad? Yeah. Security. The database your files are held in is a KDBX file and is incrypted. I am told this is VERY secure. So secure that when you forget your master password you are screwed.
I keep my KDBX file in my dropbox so that it is on all of my machines. It is easy to get to and easy to open.
I just need to remember my master password soon.
Update…
I figured it out my keepass password

Howdy! I’m also an avid Keepass user. But increasingly I find it makes more sense, and more convenient to use the Web Way to solve online password mgmt issues so I’m leaning to rely more and more on MashedLife.com
With Mashed Life I can now spend less time to manage many more online activities from sociable news to blogging or chatting in a breeze! Ready to make more friends online and being productive still. MashedLife.com is very helpful on that.
Just my 2 cents
