I work for Passpack which is an online password manager and the only one with anti-phishing: http://passpack.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/anti-phishing-welcome-message/ So all your passwords are secured in a sort of online vault which only you can access and with 1Click Login, you can be sure that you are logging into your chosen site correctly.
