GnuPG.
I store usernames, passwords, and site names in a 3-column,

run a homebrew script that's more or less:

   gpg -d mysecrets.gpg | grep <host>

There is a utility called "pass" that is effectively a shell-script around gpg to make the task of managing the passwords a little easier:
https://www.passwordstore.org/

It uses git to keep track of password changes and you can use normal git push/pull to synchronize between multiple machines (if you so choose). It can either display your password in clear text or copy it to the clipboard for 45 seconds.

I just started playing around with it and I am considering switching to it from my homebrew setup (similar to what Dan describes above). Folks have a built a cross-platform GUI frontend (based on Qt), but I prefer the CLI approach.
