GnuPG.

I store usernames, passwords, and site names in a 3-column,
GnuPG-encrypted text file. To recall a password for a given host, I
run a homebrew script that's more or less:

  gpg -d mysecrets.gpg | grep <host>

If desired, one can further copy the password into the X clipboard by
piping to "xclip". This simple is and has worked for a decade+ without
problems.
