If transportability is important, you can keep a copy of the database and a copy of Revelation (for Linux) and some Windows password manager (there's a few) on a USB stick.

Works well for bookmarks. For passwords, there is always a truecrypt container with a KeePassX data file stored on Dropbox. Convenient, as all of the passwords are available from the web. Secure, assuming you use three unrelated strong passwords for the three services, and easy, as all three have user friendly front ends.

I don't need passwords for every blog site, news site, forum, and mailing list that I'm subscribed to. We really need some kind of browser tool that manages passwords on our behalf, with the ability to synch across multiple machines, and doesn't require copying/pasting of passwords back and forth. Sigh. I find the current state of web passwords incredibly frustrating. I don’t need passwords for every blog site, news site, forum, and mailing list that I’m subscribed to.
