It was said KDE3.2 may come with a password manager, but what do you use to store your passwords? At the moment I use knotes, but it has no search function. Are there already any KDE tools for storing arbitrary passwords? Can be a simple tool, encryption not needed, just clean and working.

What's about using a plain text file for all passwords and encrypt it with gpg? So, you only have one passphrase to mention AND you have a minimum of security.
Also one benefit is, that you can use this solution in a console. You don't need X to read your passwords.

You might also be interested in using the password management in MozillaFirebird for websites.

For "other" passwords, I'd suggest using a plain text file, potentially encrypted (as per tom) if your memory fails you.

Password mgmnt

System passwords (machines on my network) I keep in my head. The only thing I have to keep track of are what online resources I have signed up for and what the ID's and passwords are. I use a password protected spreadsheet.

Though i like the gpg idea. I just have to learn how to use it. I just started usig linux and have never messed with any encryption software. gpg is on my todo list

The only stupid question is the one never asked.

GPG is on my list too. But I agree with Sebastian, the brain's the best.
