I use KeePassX, but I haven't figured out how to do any of these fancy things. What do you use for browser autofill, InputStick, autotype, etc? Also how do you store your password file and sync across devices? And what do you use on iOS? I haven't found a very convenient workflow for my phone. No phone app I've found can keep synced with a password file that's stored on Google Drive.

I'm using KeePass Professional Edition, not KeePassX. Pretty sure they both use the same database format and are both cross-platform, so you should be able to switch pretty easily if KeePassX doesn't do everything you want. For browser autofill I'm using the KeePassHttp plugin with ChromeIPass. For InputStick I'm using Keepass2Android with KP2A InputStick. Autotype is a built-in feature of KeePass on desktop. Password database is stored on Google Drive, encrypted with a 2-part file and password based key. The file-based component of the key is stored locally offline on all my devices. Changes to the database get synced automatically by Google Drive on my PCs and by Keepass2Android on my phone. I'm not sure about iOS, unfortunately. My phone is running Android, so I haven't really looked into KeePass clients for iOS.

  What is KeePass Professional Edition? When I Googled for that the best thing I could find is "Professional Edition" on this page: http://keepass.info/download.html http://keepass.info/download.html Is that what you mean? It looks like it's written using Mono for non-Windows platforms. I might have shied away for that reason. What platform do you use it on? I'd love to know if it works well on non-Windows platforms (OS X, Linux).

    Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I mostly use it on Windows, so I can't really comment on how well it works on MacOS or Linux. My understanding though is that it's basically a straight port, so most of the same functionality should be available. Another option you might want to look at is KeePassXC. It's a fork of KeePassX, and it has built-in (though off-by-default) support for keepasshttp.

      "so I can't really comment on how well it works on MacOS or Linux." Linux: rock solid for several years now. We have several KP databases shared by 20 odd people that contain several thousand entries. I use it on Gentoo and Arch desktops. It runs under Mono plus a few extras to do things like sending links to browsers and autotype etc.

Not OP but I do some of these things with KeePass as well. For autofill, KeeFox works well for me on Firefox - there's probably something similar for Chrome. I think KeePass will do autotype if you right-click on an entry but it's not a feature that I really use so I'm not sure. I store my password DB in my home folder and use syncthing to synchronize it to my other computers and my phone. I don't know about iOS but I use KeePassDroid on Android and it works pretty well.
