Why not use a service like LastPass?  Everything is encrypted/decrypted 
client-side using your own, strong master password.  This makes it 
ridiculously easy to have strong, 18 character, Alpha-numeric + symbols 
passwords unique to each service and site.

We use LastPass enterprise and the secure notes feature to easily, and 
securely share credentials.

I'm fairly sure we pay less than $30/yr or something as well.

**Before anyone replies to this with the inevitable, "why would you give 
all your passwords to one company" response, please alleviate yourself 
of ignorance and learn how LastPass actually works, and if you're not 
too familiar with software and/or cryptography, please don't hate on 
LastPass with some tinfoil hat theory.
