As an alternative bookmark manager i use Advanced URL Catalog. Using this software is easy and it integrates with all browsers.

@Shashank and Apollo,
There are advantages and disadvantages for both keeping the password in one place and keeping in different places.
If you keep in one place, chances that if one of your account is hacked, probably all will be hacked.
Now if you store it in different places, then chances of you forgetting the password is more.

@nirmaltv,

You are correct. The important detail is how the data is stored.

@Shashank,

All passwords in one place is a decent argument against password managers. But if passwords are scattered about, it can be hard to keep track of all of them! I run into that problem haha.

@Ram,
I too never use password managers, online or off line.

@Apollo,
I understand your concerns, but these passwords should be stored in some server, moreover no one can access your password, its stored in encrypted form. Even when you ask fro a reset of password, its system generated mail. No one has control over the password for all online banks.
I’m not sure about Email services.

For authentication, it is mandatory that sensitive information is stored on someone else’s server. Your online bank has a representation of your bank password on their server in some form. Same for your email service. Same for all websites. Do you ever wonder what preventions are in place to stop an employee at your online bank from stealing your password? Interesting to think about

Currently I use Keepass for password management. This one seems to be good. Will try it out.
