I'm loving 1Password -- after trying it out for a few hours, I didn't blink at the registration fee. It solved the problem for me that for some reason I periodically seemed to lose all my saved passwords in Firefox. It's also great to have all my passwords available across browsers too -- saves repetitive logging in to sites.
The integration with the browser is surprisingly good too -- it puts a little "1P" button in the browser toolbar, no matter what browser you're using, and they added in 'basic authentication' support into the latest version which means if you get one of those popup dialogues caused by a webserver with .htaccess password protection, 1Passwd can fill the correct username/pass in there too.
I have it setup so that Firefox no longer remembers passwords, and they all come from 1Passwd instead. That's SIGNIFICANTLY more secure than having Firefox fill them in, because they're stored on your hard disk in plain text... incredibly risky if you lost your laptop, for example (that's my constant fear). 1Passwd locks the keychain each time I sleep my machine, so that I just have to enter in a master password once each time I unsleep. (Firefox has similar functionality built in, but then you lose the benefit of having all your passwords available across multiple browsers.)
Now "all" I want is a Windows version that I can use at work, plus secure internet synchronisation of the passwords ;-) Come on 1Passwd guys, pony up! ;-)
