mmmm 1Password seems the favorite so far as there are apps for the Mac and the iPhone and has great reviews. When I'm with/using another device/OS I will have either the MBP with me or the iPhone although sync'ing the password database wirelessly between the MBP and the iPhone scares me and isn't something I want to do.
I like the idea of having the data in as few places as I can get away with. Securing it as best I can in one location is far better than having multiple copies everywhere. Which leads me to what I was leaning to anyway - centrally storing the password database and then VPN'ing in to access it. Anyone know if I can re-locate the password databases with the options suggested so far and access them through an installed app on the MBP and the iPhone version?
