    What's the best free password manager out there? What I'm most interested in is mainly a sync feature. I would ideally like to keep the password database file on my Windows Home Server, but if I am ever off my network, then that poses an issue.

    I have three PC's I'd like to sync the database between. I don't care if I have to manually sync periodically, preferably by a simple click.

    Thanks.

    LastPass plugin for Firefox and IE. Love it, pay for it, follows me wherever I go.

    Thanks. Just a little hesitant to store ALL my passwords on a website, even if it is encrypted.

    I've been using Password Safe for years now. If you combine it with a dropbox account it can be sync'ed.

    thumbs up for password safe. Great thing about it is that it is portable and does not need to be installed on a computer. Its free :D
