I use KeePass – open source and very similar to the program you mentioned.

@gokudomatic
Sorry if it sounded like so, but I was not trolling about java – I would not dismiss an application just because it was java based (or .NET for that matter). But I think that you’ll agree that Java generally adds an overhead memory footprint and launching speed, and a lot of people don’t even have JRE installed. Nevertheless, if someone could convince me that Lockcrypt was vastly superior to Keepass, for example, then I wouldn’t have any problem adopting it instead (despite being java).
That was my only point.
And I still say that a comparison would be nice (I know, I could do it myself, but that’s also the kind of point of sites like these, right)

+1 Qwfwq but don’t troll about java, it’s not a bad point.

A good alternative is an online password manager as Passpack.

How does this compare to the open source KeePass, which has been around for a long time and seems to have much of the same capabilities. The interface on LockCrypt seems slightly nicer looking, but Keepass has a larger choice of encryption algorithms and a plugin architecture which increases its functionality (and is not Java).
Any chance of a comparison?

I use Steganos LockNote, a free text-file encryption program. Download the 312kb file, keep it on your desktop and use it either of 2 ways: drag & drop text files onto the LockNote icon (it will create an encrypted .exe file out of the original text file), or double-click LockNote & create a new plain text document, to be saved as an encrypted .exe file.

Fast, free, simple, and effective.

I’ve tried “containerized” solutions like this, but have given up on it for my on-line passwords. It was just too much hassle for me.

What I’ve been using lately that seems to work well is the “Password Maker” plug-in for Firefox.

It creates unique passwords on the fly that is hashed using a master passwords and the parent domain for a site for salting.

I’d love your feedback on it.

And thanks for all of your hard work!
