Why would I use the freeware app Webby instead of the Keychain? Granted, Webby has a nicer GUI, but I don't see any features that aren't already present in the Mac OS X keychain and I don't think other applications can reference Webby the way they reference the keychain for specific password/userid/url combinations.

So what exactly is the point of Webby?

Good question. I can't find any point for the existence of Webby.

Plus, according to the sole review at VersionTracker, Webby stores your passwords as plain text.

Yeah, looks pointless. There's lots of pointless software. Nothing to see here, move along now
