> what makes your solution better than one from a company specifically based around security? If you use Dropbox, iCloud, etc., why is it somehow better than their cloud based solution? I deliberately don't use cloud based storage for my passwords, secrets or other stuff I tend to store in 1Password. > And if you don't choose the cloud option, what makes your local computer significantly better than their cloud based solution, besides that you have control over it? It's the difference between a remote and a local vulnerability. If Agile Bits buggers something up and introduces a bug that means password vaults can be decrypted without the master password (or just leak metadata, whatever) then when stored locally you also need to get access to my local machine. If you are uploading your data to someone else's computer you now have vulnerable data out of your direct control. You've also created a gigantic target for hackers. There is no compartmentalisation, there's a password piñata up there with a huge target painted on it.
