Yes but I have not found a great one yet. I do have one that's not too bad but I'll get you the name of it when I get to work. It's the best I've found so far.

Avoid Gator, it's MAJOR spyware.

There's one that's not spyware that I hear is good. Some of my clients use it: http://www.roboform.com/

Also are you aware that IE will also store your passwords. Make sure it's enabled if you want to use it: Tools -> Options -> Content -> Autocomplete. Enable "Usernames and passwords on forms" and "Prompt me to save passwords".

You need IE 5.5 or higher.

That is why I use the same password for all the sites that require one. Easy to remember. The only one that has a different pw is Paypal.

I carry all my passwords (personal and clients) in text files in an encrypted zip file. Someone steals my lappy, no biggie.

I take a word or a movie title, then use the telephone numeric equivalent. Then at each site I visit I use part of the site's name in the password. (ie. for AOLIM - aol528749, for Yahoo - yah528749, pca528749) Makes it easy to remember.
