There is renewed interest in PasswordSafe, a utility program to securely help people remember their passwords, first written by security expert Bruce Schneier. A new version, 2.1, is now being maintained by Rony Shapiro and now has a feature for organizing passwords into catagories. The program is still open-source, so anyone can use and improve it. It's also based on established encryption algorithms and is finding enterprise support, too.
