When I lived in 'Windows Land' I used a great little programme on my PC and my iPaq (a small hand held HP pc) called eWallet to keep my personal information secure.
When I emigrated to 'Mac World' a couple of years ago (MBP) eWallet wasn't available and Wallet didn't seem to do much so I started to use secure notes in Key Chain which is built in to Snow Leopard. This seems to keep all my stuff safely and securely. So why would I want to use the new eWallet for Mac or Wallet? Where's the advantage?
Bye the way, I don't use the iPaq anymore and I don't have an iPhone so don't need to sync. anything.http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/mac_images/images/smilies/Smile.png

I use 1Password, which is brilliant, and secure, and syncs with iPhone too.

ok so you use 1password. But what is the benefit or difference. Really, I'd like to know!

Ah, now I see! I didn't know that 1password embedded itself into Safari. Yes that looks really good.
