I love 1Password and have used it for years.
But be aware that they are moving to cloud storage for password data. At this point, you're not forced in to it (and they've made no concrete announcement yet), but that's pretty clearly where they want to go.
Perhaps that's acceptable to you; I'll be moving off at that point. But in any case, it is something to be aware of when choosing something like this - moving between password managers is a hassle.
- angerbot 9y agoHave you read their security white paper[1]? As much as I tend to freak out about cloud storage of password data (one reason I moved off of lastpass), they do seem to take fairly strong steps to host-proof the data (such as having an on-device generated secret key that they never receive).

And personally, I don't use other peoples' machines for personal storage, period. So why would I want my (even well protected, assuming 1PW didn't make a mistake) passwords to be an exception?
