LastPass is a cross-platform ( Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, BlackBerry, Android) password manager and multi-factor authentication  tool. I have been using it in a limited test for almost a year now and I am very pleased to say that my confidence in the security of this system is high and I am adopting it as my go-to application for managing secure passwords and for multi-factor authentication. There is a free version with almost all the functionality. This is a well thought out system.
