Thanks Dan and David for pointing me to the Password management programs. I tried both, Password Plus and 1Passwd. They’re both good for personal use (by single person) but what I’m looking for is a password manager that stores password in some sort of database file so multiple system admins (me and my colleagues) can work with the same database to check a password for our servers.

The good news is that after trying these both programs I visited the KeePass web site and found that now they’ve KeePassX for MacOSX, and this is exactly what I’m looking for. BTW, I’ve already switched to Mac and this makes my switch complete. Hurray!

For Password Management you should try 1Passwd. It combines the goodness of Safari’s AutoFill and Firefox’s Password Manager and takes them both to a whole new level.

1Passwd integrates directly with the OS X Keychain and works from within the browser (Safari, Firefox, Flock, and Camino), so you never need to switch applications to fill your passwords.

For a Password program you might try Passwords Plus. There’s a small fee for it but it’s doing everything that I need to do right now. I haven’t found anything else so far.

Thanks Paul,
I’ve enabled the tabs and made Safari the default browser. I want to give Sarari a fair shot.

For rss reader, you should try Vienna.
Also, don’t forget menu bar applications: MenuMeters, HimmerBar, iController and, of course, iColon (that’s a must ).
Some other applications that i found nice to try: BackLight2, Adium, Growl, HardwareGrowler.
Also some other usefull System Preferences applications: Default Apps and Media Central (replacement for Front Row).
