Keypass, 1pass, password safe

I would like to strengthen my passwords. What program of the above or others do you recommend? Also wondering about signing in on other computers so I would need a program that works on a thumb drive or I guess I could use Dropbox.

A program, really?

at least 8 characters, use numbers and symbols,no dictionary words,no minor variations of previous passwords. Not that hard.

I use keepassx. It doesn't use any registery keys or the like, and has builds cross-platform, so I can carry it on my usb stick and use it on work PC's and also use it at home on linux.

It also has a random string generator, which is nice.

I don't recommend that you use any proggy like that, even off your memory stick, on a public computer, or someone's computer that you don't trust.

Flip, I have 25 different password saved into my db, and I probably have another 25 that I haven't changed and migrated onto there yet. Tell me that you can keep track of 50 different, unrelated, non-dictionary passwords with letters and symbols and I'll be mighty impressed, because I can't.

Now, if my usb stick gets stolen by a determined thief, they can probably gain access to that dB, but at least they have about a 0% chance of guessing or social engineering my passwords, since they're totally random, unintelligible, and for the most part I have no clue what they are.
