I did too. Later in c# when forms were in, before wpf, Infragistics came out with a great set of Windows controls and I wanted to put them to the test. I made a simple table application that allowed column configuration and encryption of the data. I use that for my login info.

Don't like cloud stuff, I use Keepass, cross platform.
Not to big a deal when your only password is 12345678
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

KeePass gets my vote.
I can never fully bring myself to trust a password manager that runs as a browser add-on. It just seems to me like...a bad idea.
Security is best when done in layers. Running a password manager outside the browser process space seems like the least one should do...

My combination is "KeePass" and "KeePass Touch" on iOS with automated data exchange via Dropbox. This combination comes with free apps and no additional cost. The encrypted file is ALWAYS at a safe place in the cloud. This way a change on one device is instantly copied to all other devices without having to take care. Using the password generator at nearly all times makes most of my passwords not memorable and hard to type and therefore secure.
I started with KeePass on Windows a couple of years ago before the big wave of passwords hit us all. I started on Windows only. Later with manual exchange to my mobile. All this was not efficient enough to let me use it at all times. Only the automated data exchange made it attractive. Now it even holds bank account and passport numbers.
It requires some attention to use it at ALL times, even for the simplest websites which are never intended to be reused. The initial work to get everything into the password manager is hard, but keeping it up to date is easy.
Start using a password manager NOW and use it always.

DefinitelyKeePass for me as well. I particularly like the keyfile feature where you need your master password plus a key file/pen/whatever to unlock the database

Me too. easy to use and I keep it on all my machines and sync them periodically.
That way id I add a new PW it wind up everywhere.
Great Stuff! and it's FREE!

It should be definitely an open source project.
I use Keepass, standard client on PC (with download favicons plugin), and Keepass2Android on the smartphone. The database file is in cloud (Google Drive). Nice and easy, I now store everything precious inside my keepass database. In case of an emergency you just have to remember (and maybe pass to others) two passwords: cloud (Google Drive) and Keepass database file.

Same here. I use KeePass with the HIBPOffline plugin (checks "I've been powned" database). I sync the database across my computers and phone on a regular basis.

PasswordSafe [^] and store the file in dropbox, does the job with limited bells and whistles. I've been using it for many years (too lazy and disinterested in looking at alternatives)

I use keypass. you can run it on pc phones etc and the database is stored locally and does allow you to have multiple databases.
It is used extensively at work by IT, but work tries to push lastpass to the users which has it advantages, but I prefer keypass.

I used to use KeePass until I forgot my KeePass password.

Keepass, the interface looks a bit outdated but it has good functionality like synchronization and it is cross platform.

I keep all my passwords in an unencrypted textfile called "passwords.txt" in my Dropbox. Do you mean that's not safe?

Depending on where your computer is, and who else has physical access to it, that's probably more secure.
