I have a technical question again.

I have infinitely many usernames and passwords to remember. Now, since the human brain can only remember a finite number of such things (I think the 7+/-2 heurestic applies even here, at least for me), I have resorted to the greatest possible security sin: writing them down on this infinite roll of parchment I have. That's not the whole story, though. I actually have two such rolls; one in my office and one at home. And even though each of them could hold all my passwords, none of them do that. They hold some Venn-diagram style subset each, with additional passwords being remembered by Windows, the Mac OS X keychain, Firefox and so forth, as well as my own poor grey matter. It's a mess. I suddenly find myself wanting to log in somewhere, only to discover that the password I need is being kept somewhere that's not available to me right now. And so I turn to getting passwords regenerated and hopefully sent to some email address that I do have access to at the moment (thereby making obsolete the previously correct information kept somewhere else).

What I'd like is some simple way of accessing, distributing and keeping up to date all my different user names and passwords. I am aware of applications like Password Minder and Password Safe, but they are sort of old-paradigm in that they seem to be locked to a single workstation. To be truly useful, it needs to be multi-platform in a broad sense (more than one machine, more than one OS, ideally usable from mobile phones as well).

Are you aware of any such application? Are you interested in creating one?
