Try "Keychain Access" which comes with your MacBook. It also integrates with Safari etc. for the passwords.

keychain access is in applications, in subfolder utilities

i find it a bit counter intuitive but it works great. i have all my passwords in it because it's encrypted in case you lose you're MBP.

You could also use...

You could also use Yojimbo, it has forms for all this, plus serials and other things. It also syncs to .Mac so if your computer is stolen, you do not lose any passwords.

Yeah, as for free, Keychain Access is the one to beat.
I use MacJournal because I have it already. The thing you have to remember though is that 128bit encryption with a "regular" password is crackable within a very short time these days. 256bit with a "hard" password at least gives you the security that only the government will be able to read your data within a reasonable time frame. All depends on your needs.
Another option is to create a text file and store it within an encrypted image.

Try iSafe.

My preference is with creating an encrypted disk image and storing text files inside it. For extra security, you can zip the text files using encryption themselves. All needs for the paranoid served.

System-wide FileVault could be a no-stress option for you.

I am still not sure whether this is actually safe to use now, anyone have any experiences? Any problems, any slowdowns?

iSafe looks good but iProtecter looks even better. As soon as i get out of school im getting it on my mac. Thanks for the link.
