You see, I started programming several weeks ago and going preaty good for now. But, i just cant figure out how to build an apllication where I can save my passwords for websites.
Example:

Note: I dont want to see just source code, if you can please explain me how those codes work so I can understand them and learn. Thank you :)

Rather insecure way of storing your passwords. I would suggest introducing some sort of encryption and password.
You need to store the data somewhere, a simple file will do the trick. But like I said, storing plain-text passwords in files is a no no. So, what you need to do is find some sort of encryption function that allows a password/key and use that when you store the data.
Look into my.computer.filesystem.read/writealltext() function for read and writing files. I would suggest AES or something similar as encryption. You probably gonna need further explanation but I simply dont got the time for it right now, maybe tomorrow.

Tnx for tips, when you got time you can explain a bit more so I understand it well :)

mabe lookup truecrypt or google for some encrypt libary's\api's, or you can call truecrypt trough command line.
Be CREATIVE!! :)

That sounds great, problem is I am beginer, I know what is encryption but dont know to use it in Visual Basic. Have to learn a bit more for this xD

I'm sure you could find some code snippets that deal with string encryption. Just don't be lazy to search :)
Something like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172831.aspx (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172831.aspx)
I don't do VB so I can't test it :)
