Sure wish it came with its own password manager. Do you know of any reliable ones for us non-mac people? Just came across your site and I’m a windows user.

While I too use (used) the keychain on OS X it was no use to me when I moved to a Windows machine, either my home or work PC. UPM is a password manager that runs on both OS X and Windows (it's written in Java) so it can be used everywhere. One of it's main features (and the main reason I wrote it) is the ability to have your password database stored at a HTTP location that can be accessed from home and work.

The greasemonkey script modifies each password input on the webpage, that once clicked provides a dialog. You enter your master password and its hashed using the websites domain name. Simple, easy and highly recommended. Its easier to have a single password, and use a greasemonkey script based on Nic Wolff’s I hate passwords mechanism.
