Password reuse is a bigger threat than password manager failure.

The old-school method is to use a GPG-encrypted flatfile with your passwords in it.

I generate unique, long, passwords for each site I visit. There are _very_ few of these I can remember. I'll run:

   gpg -d passwords.asc | grep siteurl
... (in a terminal) and enter my passphrase. There are other tools which can manage keychains and such, but this is simple, easy, reliable, and portable.
