The reason is that they were just glorified excel lists and most had a password generator. I've never heard of Clipperz though. The automatic login part is intriguing. One tip I've found interesting is having a <b>root password</b> and appending different things to it based on the account. Eg. root = root3 (through in a number cuz some require) gmail password: root3gmail/root3gmail.com This way you have a relatively short password to remember, but you solve the password length problem with with concatenation.

If a site requires change of password every month, e.g. online trading account, I will append the month of change into the password.

I like it a lot because I change up my passwords more than I did before. For bank and credit card I use their password generator to create totally random passwords and I do that frequently. Another site is PassPack which is very similar though you are limited to 100 passwords for free and then there is a fee whereas Clipperz so far is free. Some people take issue with using online solutions such as Clipperz and PassPack but I find their terms of security reassuring and took the leap with Clipperz.

The downside is that the free version only supports up to 10 passwords if I was not mistaken. RoboForm is quite a good alternative to store web based passwords.
