Hi Tim,
I use a piece of software called 1password. There is a mac, windows and IOS
version and it syncs passwords across devices. The Mac and IOS versions are
accessible, but I can't speak to the Windows one. Pop it on twitter and I'll
RT for you. I know a few people were discussing this a while back but I can't
remember which tool they recommended.
Cheers,
Dónal
