Hi,
I am interested in what the general consensus is on the pros and cons of software that stores your user names and passwords and will automatically fill in user names and passwords for you?
What are the best ones out there?

Hi SpywareDR an fink,
Thank you for your replies. Are there any adverse security implications in using this class of software?

The convenience of a single password has adverse security implications.
Thank you.
No problem. :)
I feel both apps mentioned are the best paid and free ones currently out. I use KeePass every day, both @ work and @ home. But as Doc notes, if you use one, have a good master password that you use to access the password database.
FYI:
Attracted to keepass because of the price, free. Then found out that I would have to download and pay for Net Framework, at a cost of $29, in order for free keepass to work. That does not sound like like free to me.
I will look for something more honest in its pricing.
Pay for net framework?
It's a free d/l from Microsoft (and other software sites)

For some reason Firefox has never stored ALL my passwords (banks not included, of course,) and the FREE LastPass works fine for me.
