For reference I believe you get something similar with github.  In that 
case it can update either it's own bug tracker, or a number of third 
party ones (quite probably it can update the savannah one if you 
wish...).  Redmine can also do similar

There is a large migration issue between bug trackers if you change 
"brand" of course. However, given the big gap beween good and bad bug 
trackers this is probably worth doing if you find something you like...

I personally:
a) use different passwords on *every* website (with so many sites 
getting hacked at the moment, a shared password is a liability)
b) use a password manager so that I never need to know what these 
passwords are (I personally use Lastpass, but there are other good 
alternatives)

I guess Bernd's point was that most of us who adopt a procedure 
something like the above have zero issue with multiple passwords for 
different sites, even more we *promote* having unique passwords per site 
as being normal and proper security!

That you have a problem with something that others consider "solved" 
*might* mean that it's worth looking at your process, rather than the 
tools themselves..?  Just a thought...

Happy to suggest a bunch of alternatives if you are interested..?

Good luck
