RE: Are you in favor of password management software? Take the poll.
Absolutely! In fact, anyone who does not should get offline and quick 
Being in the industry for so long, you learn just how easy and vulnerable an unprotected machine is. I've worked with keyloggers for test purposes of course; and you can see just how easy it is to sniff peoples information. Including machines with the latest virus software installed!
I use a product called 1password by Agile. This is by far the best product I have used. It's only available on a Mac, and again, this is the only machine I would use to connect to anything online such as banking etc.
So you can take the password database with you, it syncs with a partner app on the iPhone, this is two part encrypted.
Take a look at 1Password, and think about getting a Mac or getting away from Windows. This is not a fanboi btw. honest.
My forte has been security for at least the past 14 years and experience has taught me never to trust a Windows system.
Although it can be locked down and secured etc (see ISA firewall appliances) it rarely is, therefore I can't help but have little confidence as I do in a Nix* system.
