I've been using password safe (http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/) for quite a while, which is great for desktop, and can be shared over a network drive, although the sharing is not really what it's designed for. I think I'll be giving clipperz a go, it seems to be much better suited to the workgroup/SMB environment and will not breach t&c with my bank!

I called Cyber Ark yesterday and their solution starts at $15K. I think I might use this: http://www.manageengine.com/products/passwordmanagerpro/download.html#licensing its about $1,200.00 Let us know what you end up using.

Yes, yes...encryption, no one can decrypt the passwords, yadda-yadda. I'm primarily concerned about security, and there's nothing that can beat physical control over your own data. Obviously, carrying around a key-fob is nice, but what if you lose it and forget to back it up? Or what if your host machine doesn't support USB sticks? The web is accessible wherever you would also be needing the majority of the information you'd be storing in this. Plus it appears they have a PDA version of the client? Not sure.... Your mileage may vary, and there's a decent chance that Passpack (et al) has a better data center presence than, say, my 65 degree basement - but there's nothing like physical control. Plus, it looks like you can manage your stuff on-line, and then export a fully-encrypted off-line (read-only) copy of the database, for use when you don't have access to your own server. Nice, eh? Also, they have the option of using one-time passphrases, for those situations where you'd rather not use your Real passphrase (such as in a library or cyber cafe). Use the passphrase once and it's done. You can generate a whole bunch of them, print them out and stick them in your wallet. You can also manually disable them if you were to, say, lose your wallet. The passphrases would be useless. Anyway, just my three cents! Hope you found something good....
