Password Manager Nirvana?

Is anyone aware of a password manager that will perform the following functions?

Is anyone aware of a password manager that will perform the following functions:

1. Run on Windows machines.

2. Have both an admin and user mode.

3. Supports automatic sending of passwords and/or copy-pasting passwords to password dialogue boxes including web-sites, RDP sessions, customized applications?

4. Have said user-mode allow someone to put passwords into authentication challenges, but otherwise not allow the user to edit and/or see the password in plain-text.

I'm guessing not, but I thought I would ask...

Cheers,

If the user can access the password to a sufficient degree to insert it into an arbitrary application, they will be able to find out what it is. I don't think there's any practical way to do what you're asking; it's the DRM problem all over again.

Yeah, I guess what most companies do with this stuff is just hope that their employees aren't vindictive. That, and they change multiple passwords after employee turn over...

There are some commercial application password suites which do all of the above.

I'm not sure of all your terminology, but I've found Robo Form to be extremely diverse with many functions, including multi-user functionality. You can dl free, I bought it years ago and it has performed flawlessly.

KeePass does some of what you're looking for, may do the rest but I've never explored the options that much.
