How do you (1) keep track of all the logins and passwords, (2) keep a backup of that information, (3) keep all of that very secure or as secure as it needs to be?
So far I have been storing them in Contacts on the iPhone with a sort of self-made code but that is a royal PITA, I'm afraid I will forget the code, and my iPhone could be stolen/lost and any moment.
I would like an iPhone based solution, since that device is always with me. Ideally there would be a copy somewhere on the web, so if my iPhone is lost I could still get at the info.
I should add that I use Macs at home (thought I'd mention this since some password managers are Windows only), and that I am not worried about the NSA being able to hack my passwords . . .

I have a boatload of passwords...the only real way of keeping them secure is the old skool way--keep it in your head. Occasionally, I do forget a password for a site or system that rarely gets used, and in that case, I just use the forgotten password tool.
The NSA hacking your passwords is the least of your worries. Personally, I would NEVER put a password manager of any sort on the web--if something's on the web, people CAN get to it.
