KeePassX (https://www.keepassx.org/ https://www.keepassx.org/) is free and open source password manager. Having never tried LastPass I can't vouch that it's feature compatible, but it covers all my needs.

I tried both (switched from LastPass to KeePassX). KeePassX works better, especially with KeePass2Android. Strongly recommended.

I did look at KeePassX - but it doesn't seem to have reliable autofill in Chrome & Firefox (where I use 99% of my passwords). It also means I have to manually synchronise the database between phone, PC, etc. The hunt continues!

  > I did look at KeePassX - but it doesn't seem to have reliable autofill in Chrome & Firefox It does have browser integration, for both Chrome - ChromeIPass extension, and Firefox - KeeFox extension. Both extension work via KeePassHttp plugin. Works well on Arch Linux.

    I meant KeePass http://keepass.info/ http://keepass.info/ writing about browser integration (in my case I run it on mono), not the KeePassX. KeePassX is a very simple app in comparison with KeePass, so I prefer KeePass over KeePassX.

  I just keep the keepass.db file in a cloud storage folder that is synced across devices. Works perfectly and because of the encryption it hardly even matters that cloud storage is (currently) on a US server. The "perform autotype" option in KeepassX Linux seems to work well enough for me in Firefox, Chromium and most applications (it basically seems to send <user><TAB><password><ENTER> which usually does the trick--and afaik it has some settings you can tweak when it doesnt, but I never bothered with those). But if Lastpass works for you, that's cool. Getting to use a password manager in the first place is the most important step, IMHO.
