A text file with them all is allright, but if someone got ahold of it..... Password or login managers are allright, but I would imagine they pose only slightly less risk than having a text file.
Password managers are great as long as they use a decent encryption protocol and you use a decent password.

And people won't even need access to your computer to get your passwords! Even less secure than a .txt file...

Hehe, www.download.com / www.sf.net and just type in password manager, should both come up with some results
But personally Oubliette is great for storing passwords and free
.
Same username / password can also cause a very big problem if someone does get a hold of that one password. For instance you use it on a site which allows the admin to see the passwords now he/she will be able to use all your password protected things. So bad idea.

See above... explination why you really shouldn't do that.
Anyway, try Oubliette it's a great password manager with quite a bit of nice features and is able to encrypt your passwords using either IDEA or Blowfish.
