still... password.txt available for download on a public address? geez! It's like putting your credit card out on your front door step and praying that no one will ever notice it's there.
I think the beta version (2.x) does an optional character obfuscation. It types your password into the pwd box, but all characters are placed in a random order... keyloggers may still acquire all characters that make up your password, but not in the right order. If it is long enough, it will continue to be safe against a brute force attack.
Of course, if your password is "god", then God is the only one that could help you keep your password safe.
The new version of KeePass does random character obfuscation.. which is what most people here are talking about. It keeps your passwords protected in one place and it (optionally) types in your password for you, but the characters are placed in randomly to form the complete password.
Not sure, tho, I think this is only available on the beta version at the moment. You can check.

Depends on what you mean by hacking... i've heard this expression in a few different places.
You're kidding, right? Unless you have a robots.txt setup, Google will index the hell out of your pwds.
