lastpass.com. Unfortunately it's not FOSS, but it's cross-platform, integrates with the browser, has broad mobile device support, has provisions to protect against keyloggers, offers dual-factor authentication and one-time password support, and on and on.. The main downside to using it for years is how utterly dependent I've become on it..

That's a major down side and one without a good solution. Pherhaps you could try clipperz.com; they offer a standalone version you can self host (haven't tried it yet).

Ultimately the solution to this has got to be a FOSS online password manager with a slew of nice features (two factor auth, various integration, etc) so that I don't have to trust a third party host and get a network-accessible password safe.
