I'm not talking about any customer password I want to know in clear text, I changed the thread text to make that clear 
I'm talking about different types of systems I need to authenticate on, ssh, telnet, sftp, rdp citrix, http proxy or even any web accounts for oracle, ibm, hp and so on
in different networks, different domain controllers, switches, firewalls
personalized or admin accounts
sometimes I just get them from customers and can't change them, some other accounts I create myself, but need to give them to others, so I should keep records
and I want a system to store all these passwords/accounts in a practicable but safe way, so I have access to them everywhere I am
easiest way would be an encrypted text file
but I'm interested in what other people are using for this purpose

lppasswd
lppasswd(1) Apple Inc. lppasswd(1) NAME
lppasswd - add, change, or delete digest passwords. SYNOPSIS
lppasswd [ username ] lppasswd -a [ -g groupname ] username lppasswd -x username DESCRIPTION
lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (user- name), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX usernames. OPTIONS
lppasswd supports the following options: -g groupname Specifies a group other than the default system group. SECURITY ISSUES
By default, the lppasswd program is not installed to allow ordinary users to change their passwords. To enable this, the lppasswd command must be made setuid to root with the command: chmod u+s lppasswd While every attempt has been made to make lppasswd secure against exploits that could grant super-user privileges to unprivileged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to use Basic authentication with accounts managed by PAM instead.
