The Password Gorilla helps you manage your logins. It stores all your user names and passwords, along with login information and other notes, in a securely encrypted file. A single "master password" is used to protect the file. If you want to log in to a service or Web site, the Password Gorilla copies your user name and password to the clipboard, so that you can easily paste it into your Web browser or other application. An integrated random password generator can provide one-time passwords, tunable to various services’ policies.
Cross-platform (Linux, Mac, iOS, Android).
Alternatively, Password Gorilla Portable updates paths for recently used databases.

When you only use Windows, you should try KeePass. It's much better and has a nice GUI

Tested V1.5.3.5.1 writes .gorillarc file (settings) to User Profile folder.

With Gorilla v1.5.x, you can easily make it portable by fooling it about where to store the .gorillarc file. Just create a wrapper script such as the following, which respecifies the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH environment variables for the duration of the script (assuming gorilla.exe is within the folder x:\apps\gorilla):
@echo off
:: gorilla.bat - Portable wrapper for Gorilla
set HOMEDRIVE=%~d0
set HOMEPATH=\apps\gorilla
start %~dp0gorilla.exe

Also, Gorilla v1.5.x is truly open source and cross-platform: it comes with static builds for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (and Android is promised too), so you can use the same password databases wherever you want. (Tcl/Tk no longer needs to be installed on a system separately.) Gorilla maybe lacks some of the graphical bells and whistles of alternative Windows programs, but the cross-platform features above are bigger deals for some of us!

In my batch file above, use the following command instead to allow for the path containing spaces:
start "" "%~dp0gorilla.exe"

Just found out that Gorilla has a commandline option:
--rc configfile : Use as configuration file (not the Registry)
so no need for a wrapper batch file after all, and this makes Gorilla truly portable.

@BigD
It does create a config file in the application folder but it looks like one need to run Password Gorilla with the "--rc configfile" arguments every single time. Is that correct?
V1.4

Both download links don't work because they're missing a 3 after the 6. Here are the corrected links.

In addition to Windows systems, Password Gorilla can also be used on Mac OS X and Linux, all accessing the same encrypted file.
I'm currently using it on both Windows and OSX, but have yet to try it on Linux.
