Does anyone use a password manager to handle all their logins and passwords ? and if so which ones do you use ? These days you need so many logins with stuff like email, forums, web hosting, dj bids, paypal etc.

I don't... but... how do they work then? :)

I have one password, impossible to guess, and I use 3 grades of numbers in front of it for the general security of the site. Ie. PayPal is 3, eBay - 2, Hotmail - 1, Forums etc - no number... it seems to work for me, as I generally get them all right first time.

They work by storing your logins everytime you visit a new site, so next time you visit the site, the program fills out you info for you. and it acan also auto fill other forms all by its self. and the whole program is protected by a master password.
