I Know some C++ and Python, but I don't know enough about algorithms to really implement the project, a fairly simple web app, I have in mind.

What's the best way to keep track of an escalating number of logins and passwords? For the web, there's Opera's magic wand, but what about hosting accounts, ftp servers, ATM PINs, etc?
