Jeremy,
This comment is not about Keychains. but you are new and Scott was 
discussing filling in forms, so you should become aware of Save Form 
For Autofill.  Once you fill in a form, from the Browser menu choose 
Save Form For Autofill.  The next  time you open this page, to fill the 
form select Autofill Form from the Browser menu, and the page will be 
filled automatically.  This saved data also works for any other form 
page where the fields to be filled have the same names.  As you Save 
Form For Autofill for more and more pages, OmniWeb accumulates a 
database of field names whose content it remembers so filling in forms 
becomes easier and easier.  You could use this for sensitive data such 
as passwords and credit card numbers, but generally that is not a good 
idea for security reasons.  For things like addresses, customer numbers 
and even less significant passwords for, for example, protected web 
sites or free newspaper accounts, it is excellent.
