Password Security - Solution

Thank you everyone for your input on my Password Security question. For history, here is what I requested from everyone.

The original request

I can no longer handle all the passwords I must keep in my head. I'm tired of going to my 3rd banking web site, and figuring out I've entered the password for my first bank into it, 3 times and now I'm locked out of my bank, and have to reset my password... again, which makes the problem even worse, since I can't repeat passwords.

I know that I can use Firefox to store my password for web sites, but this is insecure, as a couple clicks of the buttons in preferences, and it will display in clear text all my passwords. , and IE has an API to extract your passwords. I should note that both IE and Firefox do not store your files in the clear, and there is some level of security protecting these passwords... but I will never use those solutions ever again, and will be disabling it on all my computers.

What I want is a web browser centric password vault, that will not only save my website passwords for me, but also allow me to use it to autopopulate password fields upon request or automatically. I also have a Pocket PC Phone that I need to sync to as well.

Features

  1. Web Browser password filling (Firefox, and IE)
  2. Keep multiple computers in sync. (Laptop, Work, Home)
  3. Sync to the Pocket PC

The Winning Solution

RoboForm + FolderShare = TJ's Password happiness

I just got a new LG vx8100 from Verizon Wireless. I waited for this phone for a while, and used my LG vx4400 for 2.5 years before upgrading. I found several things that I wanted to do with the phone that took a while to figure out. But after doing so made the phone very cool.

There is some good information about the phone here... Article about vx8100, and
Review of vx8100.
