[OT] Passwords Question

For what it's worth, I built a little app for just such a purpose.   
It's all in html and javascript, so it'll work on most any OS with  
Firefox (and probably IE, I haven't checked in a little while).   On  
top of that, you can put the entire thing (data and executable) on a  
thumbdrive and take it with you.  Finally, it uses markdown, so you  
get a bit more formatting than a simple text file. It uses a  
javascript AES implementation, so it's reasonably secure.

It's here : http://www.wisegeek.com/strongwiki/trac

Take a look and let me know what you think!
