Use notepad and encrypt the text file using something like AX Crypt?

Chippy_Minton

I use KeyNote.

Roboform suits me fine. Free version has a limited number of passcards but with the Pro version you can download to a USB pen.

https://www.winzip.com download and run add files to zipped folder with encryption.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Excellent idea but I can install neither KeePass nor PasswordSafe (they seem related) as I get "encountered illegal instructions" when I click on the .exe file to install or get "file corrupted" for the .zip file!!!!!!

P.S. During my search I came across https://www.passwordsafe.com which looked good as you can access your passwords online from any computer. Has anyone tried it?

No, but if you look here:

http://www.passwordsafe.com/faq/

it says: "While we take every security precaution, we do not recomnmend storing sensitive information such as bank account passwords."

Would it be ok to make an excel chart with all your passwords.
Password protect the file, if putting the file onto a pen/usb drive would the file still be password protected when opening up on a different computer?

I use a freeware programme called PINS, it doesn't install, is encrypted and I run it from a floppy so nothing at all is stored on my system. Highly recommended, works well.

I wouldn't advise it for sensitive data. The password protection in Excel is not very secure, and there are numerous utilities out there that will 'find' the password.
