KeePassX

I'll just say one thing that is important to remember with password managers in general: use a really hard password, since you are putting all the eggs in one basket.

- No less than 8 characters.

- Avoid common substitutions (0 instead of o, 1 instead of l, underscore instead of space etc).

Recently Numberphile made a longer episode with showcasing password cracking and typical strategies behind identifying weaknesses in passwords by using lists of leaked / cracked ones.

EDIT: I've meant this video, just copied wrong address:

but both are on topic and pretty cool.
