Keychain Access

To make it easy to manage the daunting number of passwords and permissions intrinsic to network computing, Mac OS X includes a Keychain. The Keychain stores all your information to use encrypted disk images and to log onto file servers, FTP servers and Web servers. Mac OS X automatically adds your .Mac account information to your Keychain. When you log in to Mac OS X, the system opens your Keychain. You don’t have to enter your user name and passwords to access this data. You can set Mac OS X to lock your Keychain when the system sleeps or is inactive for a time. The system will ask you for your password the next time you try to access secure data. Other users on the system cannot access your Keychain or its data. … More Edit

  Easy to use and the safety issue is great. The notes feature is great if you can't remember your password just to make a note on what it may be. (Just for that case which you don't want you full password shown but a note on what it may be).

  Overall:

  With .Mac synching I can keep my keychain file on several different Macs. I also like the secure notes feature in the keychain.
