Some things I would look for:

* Data should be encrypted
* Permissions to retrieve password should be grantable on at least a user
basis.
   Adding a group basis is nice as well.
* Some sort of data organization that makes sense for you
  (by servers, database vendors, ... - completely configurable is best)
* An absolute must - there should be a way to retrieve passwords from the
   command line for use in scripts.
