1Password. I never used to like using password managers and 1password has changed that. Mobile app and web integration are both done well. With the ability to share vaults and keeps things separate and orderly.

Do you actually pay for the service?

  I bought the mobile app and the license for my Mac. I don't use their cloud service and when I sync my mobile it is via the local wifi to my Mac and I don't use any cloud options like Dropbox or iCloud etc.

I have always been curious. What if the master password is compromised?

  You have to change all your passwords.

  Then everything is open to be viewed/compromised. Since I personally don't use the cloud options that would mean the person must also have physical access to my device and have my pin for my phone or the password to my computer too. Not that this isn't possible but for the added security of having different passwords for every login I'll take this balance of security.

Been using 1Password for a year now on OSX/Windows/iOS and haven't hit any issues yet. The Windows app has a lot of catching up to do in terms of UX (I know there is a beta, but isn't stable enough for everyday use) What surprised me is that they still don't have a Linux version!

  It can be made to work in Linux via 1pass lua script[1], but it's not super convenient. No plugin support and the UI is sparse, but workable. Thanks agilebits for documenting your encryption methodology while still keeping it secure! [1]: http://www.lucianofiandesio.com/1password-in-linux http://www.lucianofiandesio.com/1password-in-linux

  I was able to get a Windows version running under Wine on the latest version of Mint. On their site (I believe in the FAQ) they link to a thread with instructions on how to do it. It works mostly fine, but there are some gotchas they list out.

I'm a fan of 1Password and use it on desktop (mac/win) and mobile (ios/Android), mandate it for some of our employees, and recommend it to family and friends. I am however not a fan of their push into to 1Password for clouds/teams/families/whatever. I demoed it and thought it was a vastly increased cost for marginal additional functionality compared to buying licenses. Worse is they appear to be devoting resources to the 'cloud' product while features of the stand alone software are put on the back burner. Could be a great business move from them. Who doesn't love MRR? (Well, besides customers). I still use and recommend it when the opportunity arises, but their new direction worries me.

I don't know how I "managed" without 1password. 1password saves me time every single day and greatly improves security as each login uses a unique and highly secure password. Finally use their iOS app for retrieving your passwords on the go.

I've been mostly using 1Password since my workplace provides an account that includes a personal vault, but I've also been looking at switching to Enpass for my personal passwords. https://www.enpass.io https://www.enpass.io Some things I like about Enpass over 1Password: - Has a Linux client. - Offers free desktop clients, mobile clients require a 1 time purchase (not subscription based). - Stores passwords locally. Sync is provided through a separate storage provider of your choosing (GDrive, iCloud, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc). I like this implementation much more than traditional cloud-based password managers because a hack of a single server (1Password's, for instance) won't compromise everybody's data and expose your (hopefully hashed) password database as collateral damage. I'd love to hear from anyone who might have experience with both 1Password and Enpass on how it is to use Enpass on a daily basis compared to 1Password.

  Just FYI, you can store locally as you described with 1Password. You don't have to use their cloud service. Or any cloud service for that matter since 1PW supports syncing over a local wireless network.

  This actually looks good. Wondering why I haven't heard of this before. Anyone has thoughts/knowledge on its security, on SQLCipher?

The nice thing about 1Password (is for the time being) the fact you don't have to use cloud services and can manage syncing locally or via Dropbox. They're making a big push to the web version which we use for work, but I have a personal account from forever ago that I still use the local WiFi sync with. Great iOS integration, great OS X integration, awesome browser plugins, but the Windows UI is atrocious and Linux support is technically non-existent but there are ways.
