Geesh, I'm reticent to confide my passwords with others.
With award wallet, you can choose where your passwords are stored. You can decide to store them locally on your computer or on their server. Anyway, if you're really interested in it, there's a faq entry about it on their web site.
From what I've read from security experts, 12-14 random mixed case characters using numbers, letters and symbols (not based on dictionary or other easy to remember phrases) is the current minimum recommended password length. And in 6 months that will change, I'm sure. And don't use the same password on more than one site.
