[Gllug] need a password manager for passwords I do not care about

[Justin Perreault]

I am tired. I figure I'll just wrap a couple of things up in preparation
for my install of Fedora 9 that I will do tomorrow. Check the emails
posted here and the docs online. I try one of the commands from the
online docs. It fails. I check that I have it right. I do. I try again.
it fails. I tweak the command to what I think is likely right. It works.
Docs online seem to have a typo. Figure I should report it. Hunt down a
contact. Find docs at fedoraproject.org . Send an email. Email bounces back
due to address not existing. Now I have two errors in the documentation.
Check the contact page found previously. Find
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ . Go to the site thinking "Okay now I'll
just post these two bug reports and I can go to bed." But lo and behold
I need to register. TWITCH, TWitCH, twitch, twiTCH. 

I understand why leaving the the bug repository open would be very bad.

Any reason I should be truly concerned about someone getting my login
details for a bug repository? Presumably anyone could just create a
bogus account anyways.

I don't want to create a default password that I hand out all over the
net. I feel that such a foot print would be just asking for trouble.

I expect that if someone gets hold of my system the least I need to be
concerned with is a list of passwords to a variety of places that would
not have a big need for passwords if bots would stop messing up the
Internet.

So, I need a password manager. I am thinking that using the one in
Firefox might be okay. Until this point I have shunned password
managers. My feeling being that they add insecurity to something that in
theory should be secure. I will not be using this for any site that
holds more details about me than my name and email address.

I would mostly use this with firefox for internet logins. I will want to
be able to access the passwords in a format that I can migrate to a
fresh install if need be.

Anyone here find the Firefox password manager any good?

Any suggestions for other password managers to look at?
