This means there's a point where they get all sorts of data on me, and while I personally don't mind, I must admit I felt a bit safer when I thought it was a smaller, purpose-built company managing things." I've never really understood the appeal of account-based password managers. It was a startup and it needed a business model, sure, so from the company's perspectiv…

Agreed. Logically, something like KeepassX ( https://www.keepassx.org/ ) is the most logical, secure choice. I think a lot of people pick Lastpass and such for the convenience of browser integration, but I don't think that's necessarily impossible with keepassx - just so happens that nobody is really working on it (which is a shame).

Hi danieldk, My name is Eva Schweber and I work for AgileBits, the makers of 1Password. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your love of 1Password with the other folks on this thread!

Hi Eva, Do you have any plans to integrate with Google Drive or iCloud drive in the near future?

Anyone aware of good alternatives? Primarily for enterprise customers who want to share passwords between teams. We have developers, and regular ol' employees who use this of varying levels of computer comfort. We need to be able to share passwords org-wide and team-wide. And on a personal note, I need to be able to manage my own passwords and my partner's and we share from time to time.

Can anyone enlighten me on when sharing passwords between teams is necessary? It seems to me as though it's always a bad idea because people leave and it's generally possible for everyone to have their own account.

Another reason to use LastPass is if you need to share sensitive data with a team. Group credentials and secure keys for production environments, among other things, can be shared using LastPass.

This one in particular -- I use KeePass for my personal stuff, still; but at work, there seem to be a ton of logins we need to share. Never mind sensitive stuff -- we get lots of use out of LastPass for managing the list of test and demo users on our site. We setup sandbox accounts (with various types of users) for potential customers. Each time the main logins to into LastPass, so if they run into problems, anyone o…
