Ask HN: Password manager for OS X?
Working on multiple sites I have dozens of passwords saved for each client. I tried out 1Password but wasn't too impressed. I've looked at Wallet and a few other password managers, but before I purchase and buy into one option I wanted to get the low-down from this community. Anyone have any recommendations / feedback on various password managers? Here are my requirements:
- must be an application (not a firefox plugin)
- must store usernames/passwords for web sites, accounts, etc
- must store other notes (credit numbers, contact info, etc)
- easily searchable (some sort of integration with quicksilver would be awesome)
- bonus: ability to store the passwords on my iphone and sync them on other computers.

You can download the desktop version as a stand-alone app or use it with the iPhone, Treo, etc.
It's not the prettiest mac application but I think it gets the job done. I originally used it first when I was on Treo many moons ago. Then when I switched to the iPhone I really missed it. As soon as they came out with the iPhone version, I bought it immediately. You have to sync the iPhone and your desktop through a manual process but it's pretty straightforward once you do it.
It's not integrated with quicksilver though, but I don't know if you want that sort of info easily accessible outside of the app.

If you're already on OS X, why not use Keychain? In Keychain Access.app, you can create a new password entry (⌘N) or a new note entry (⌘⇧N).
