We use KeePass on a shared drive. It's free and stores the encrypted passwords. It doesn't paste them into the login forms or even generate hard-to-crack passwords. It's free and meets our minimum needs. IT decided this is what we needed.

I'm curious to survey the community -- has anyone found a way to store database administration passwords used by technical services staff that is both user-friendly and secure? For example: the passwords to configure NC State's various OCLC resources / services / databases.
Feel free to message me directly if you're not comfortable sharing on-list.
thanks!
