We use KeePass on a shared drive. It's free and stores the encrypted passwords. 
It doesn't paste them into the login forms or even generate hard-to-crack 
passwords. It's free and meets our minimum needs. IT decided this is what we 
needed.

I'm curious to survey the community -- has anyone found a way to store database 
administration passwords used by technical services staff that is both 
user-friendly and secure? For example: the passwords to configure NC State's 
various OCLC resources / services / databases.

Feel free to message me directly if you're not comfortable sharing on-list.

thanks!
