My recommendation would be to use LastPass (http://lastpass.com). It
stores all of your passwords in an encrypted blob which has a master
password, which is only ever decrypted on the local machine. Most all
of the major browsers have a lastpass plugin. The blob is uploaded to
lastpass' site, which means that any browser with said plugin that you
use will have access to all of your passwords. It also allows you to
generate secure passwords for all web sites.
I've been using it for 6 months, and it works great.
