Storing passwords

Password Safe SWT
Some times you have lots of passwords to remember and you need to store them somewhere. Best place for passwords ain't in Post-Its sticked to your screen or written in the corner of your morning magazine. You might think storing passwords in your cell is safe, until someone steals it. Even Excel-sheet with password protection doesn't seem so safe to me.
If you need that extra security maintaining your passwords, try Password Safe SWT, which is a clone of PasswordSafe for Windows.
All your passwords are stored in .psafe-file and are locked with master password and therefore kept relatively safe. You can copy single password to clipboard with two clicks (in Windows with a one doubleclick). You can transfer the .psafe-file to any other computer, so if you are using multiple computers this might come handy.
Altough Password Safe SWT is lacking some security features in relation to Windows version, such like "Lock password on minimize" or "Lock password database on workstation lock" (both grayed out in version 0.6), it is more secure way to store your passwords than any other way.
