I'm using Password Safe. Similar concept, needs a password to unlock it then you can access your passwords.

One of the most important function of these tools is the random password generator. I don't know most of my passwords, they are random and long and painful if you ever do have to type them in. You use the tool to copy and paste them when you login. When you close the tool it should clear the paste buffer.

You can set expiry times to remind you to change them, store URL's and notes associated with the password. I use it for those password recovery questions.

People do know you can lie with these questions as long as you save the question and answer so you can repeat it. I have used random strings in some cases.
