I don't know about you, but I've been managing passwords for years with a simple program I downloaded 6 years ago called Passkeeper. The database was encrypted, but probably very easily broken.
I've been searching recently for a new program and came across several ones that were shareware. Didn't like any of them until I stumbled across http://keepass.sourceforge.net/
It supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and the Twofish algorithms to encrypt its password databases.
It is simple to use and stores all your passwords in an easy to use and searchable database. I have over 200 entries in it since I use a different password for every site I visit. You should do this as well because if someone compromises your password, he has access to EVERYTHING online.
At the very least, use different passwords for all financial institutions you use online.
