How do I get my browser to remember passwords for secure sites?

I feel that my personal computers -- in my house -- are pretty safe. If someone has physical access to them then I am either okay with that or calling 911 with bigger problem. So I wonder: How do I get my browser to remember passwords for secure sites? I use Safari on my Mac most of the time, but I also use Chrome on my PC, FireFox on both, and IE (occasionally) on my PC. Thanks.

You should consider using a dedicated password safe program like KeePass instead.

"I'm in a similar situation where I have multiple computers running multiple operating systems. My solution is to use a combination of Dropbox with KeePass (KeePassX on the Mac). That way I can access my passwords anywhere that I can log into my Dropbox account.

Lifehacker has an article on the subject:

I also store some passwords locally in Firefox, ones that I don't feel like typing in over and over again. Just make sure you assign a password to the Firefox password vault, as otherwise it is insecure."
