A good password app for my 3GS

Does anyone know of a good password manager/app that will do the following?

Backup on to my PC
Sync with password store on PC
The ability to have categories like Credit Cards, Web Sites, Desktops, and Servers etc.

Free is better if there is one but a pay app is okay as long as it has the above features.

none

Hi, LCMan, I have been using mSecure. you can have everthing on there, banking and credit card info and passwords, vehicle info (vin, tire size), prescription/medical info, insurance info, etc. It's very user friendly and has a lot of categories to use. I, too, have many passwords for lots of different things and I don't always remember them all and I don't want to have them on a piece of paper that can get lost. The app itself allows for numerical password as well as a strong password. The price for the app is $2.99, but it has a 4 star rating with over 100 reviews. I sync it on my mSecure computer app so it's all backed up. There is no subscription cost to deal with either.
I was a little leery about having that private info on my phone, but with the phone passcode and the strong password for my mSecure app, I feel better about it.

Hope this helps.

My comment wasn't made because I took your post to be personal. However, it might have been more helpful if, rather than saying:
"I don't use anything. It is totally free"
you'd said:
"We use secure USB key for everything".

The OP wants something he can access on an iPhone, not a USB key that he needs to plug into a laptop.
If you don't use anything on your iPhone, I don't see why you felt the need to chip in to be honest.The title of the thread is : "A good password app for my 3GS"

It was a sensible legitimate advice.

A USB key?... not legitimate, sensible or even possible with the iPhone.

None of my colleagues and associates and anyone I know use an app for password. We use secure USB key for everything...

You can't compare an 'app' with a USB key since the two can't be used on the same device, i.e. the iPhone.
