For things like web-based control panel / billing area logins, I use KeePassX.
For SSH credentials, I use SSH keys, with aliases in my ~/.ssh/config file for each server.
Don't login with your user/password in your server. Rather use ssh keys. Generate a ssh public/private key in your home maching (if not already created) and copy the public key in your server's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. For extra security you can use passphrase
You can then disable password based login in your server.
And then you can login anytime without being asked for user/password.
Old school, pen and paper
I use SSH keys. I also keep a copy on my phone's notepad
KeePass is very good.

But you still need a place to store the passphrase unless you're using passwordless keys, which is a different sort of security risk.
I use PasswordSafe. KeePass is nice, but it doesn't handle Dropbox well. If you keep your safe on Dropbox, it's easy to open at home, and then find it's still open when you're somewhere else. PasswordSafe does the proper "open DB only when needed, then close immediately".
i secured one of my vps and create simple login script with specific name for each of them so i can easyly ssh every vps from it.
use one hard combined password for them all coz i cant memorize all the ip
I just memorise 1 complicated password and add initials of provider in the beginning of it. This way I get unique password for all. You can make your own method.
Someone used ezeelogin?
Keepass, one long password to secure them all.
Save it in a secure place
Don't forget the Key File also
lastpass.com for password and else. (you can save everything on the notes section)
Lastpass is very good, I use it on all my devices
Keepass (portable version) residing in Dropbox folder and minikeepass for iPhone. I store the key file seperatly on Google Drive and also have a DB password
@raindog308 you can configure keepass to lock the workspace or exit on any time threshold. Locking the workspace closes the DB
In this case I only use a password.
Oh, I see what you did there
Yeah, key files and other stuff worth saving.
I like lastpass, too, but I find it inconvenient for non-web passwords, compared to desktop password managers, though it's been a while since I checked out that functionality. It's great for web passwords and is surprisingly safe security-wise, since only encrypted blobs leave your PC.
What annoys the hell out of me is the tablet world where you can't customize your browser to include useful plugins like LP.

ssh keys FTW
Keepass (also saves my SSH/Git keys) - backed up to Amazon's S3 every save.
That's what I do as well. Works wonders.
lol no way! you really have users? i use a .txt file in a tc container btw
I'm using ssh-keys. For others i'm using an excel sheet saved on atleast two usb drives. And one on a rewritable cd backed up weekly.
doesn't seem to support ssh keys
keepass with db on my backup space, also some not so important stuff in gmail as draft or in mobile phone notice
SSH Key + Lastpass + Yubikey + Cold Storage
quite a lot actually
For important servers SSH Keys with Two-Factor authentication, for other servers password with Two-Factor authentication.
Fridge? ;D
I like lastpass, its really good for web psswords.
Does anyone have a good solution for making it easy for non-web passwords too?
Like an absolute idiot, in a txt file.
I do only allow login over SSH via keys though so I guess by the time they get into my server I'm fucked anyway.
