Similarly, I keep them on my PalmPilot in a program that keeps an
encrypted database. My Visor is MIA, and I'm switching everything back
to my older Palm, so I'm back using the program Secrets. I liked GNU
Keyring (especially since jpilot could let me access my passwds, and
its open source), but it requires PalmOS 3.0.

My often used passwords are only on there for about the first week after
I change them, so I can't screw them up. I also overwrite the files
when I delete them. My less often used passwords stay in there.
