    I tried Passpack, but their web integration was lousy - you needed to have a bookmarklet for each browser, which only worked for one user at a time.

    Moved to lasspass premium so that it worked on my tablet and phone and am very impressed with it. Don't think it supports the concept of multi-user, though, unless you want everyone to be able to see your other passwords.

    I think it's something like $1 a month for the premium access. They don't give any discounts for buying for longer, though, which is a shame.

    Using 1password for a bit now and really like it, especially the programmable hot key to insert passwords into the browser, annoyingly though as more and more apps on my phone/tablet have passwords that seems to be the weak link in the chain, I know 1password has an iOS app but that just gives you access to the browser version of any sites etc which are impractical, guess I am going to have to generate new obscure passwords, key them in manually on the phone/ipad and then just up the screen lock from simple pin to complex password

    Even then, the mobile functionality is trivially cheap. I bought it for one year but let it lapse as I don't really do much on t'interweb on my mobile.

    You might as well try it, it's free.

    Well that is cool.

    I use lastpass and was totally happy with it until the latest release, which seems to confuse things. Doesn't work with Windows 8 Metro.

    That's how I understand it. The ironic thing is that if you stuck to non-SSL those clear text sessions would only be available to someone who can sniff the network at some point in between you and the site concerned (e.g. GCHQ/NSA), but if you used SSL, the bad guys might get a peek and in an untraceable manner too. If I've understood it all correctly, of course.
