I'm looking for a password manager. It must be cross-platform
(Win/Linux) and able to be run from a USB stick. Small and simple are
good.

Any suggestions?

You might want to take a look at Password Safe.
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

Originally from Counterpane, open source since 2002.

Password Safe runs under Windows, but the database format is used by a
few *nix clones, see: http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/#RelatedProjects

...I use it as I have an inherent distrust of browser based password
managers. I haven't tried running the Windows client from a usb stick
though - or any of the clones. YMMV.

Heh, don't do what a neighbour of mine did - kept all his passwords in a
file called passwords.doc on his PC

Why, what happened--did he upgrade to a new version of Word and find he
couldn't open the old file any more?

Or password the doc then forget that password?

Yes, that did occur to me. But I didn't think Microsoft password-protection
would be much of an obstacle.

I've got an old one I use for Windows, but it's no good for Linux. It
requires no install so it's fine off a USB stick.
