I use 1Password due to convenience. I'd happily go with an open source format and whatever implementations exist for different desktop and mobile operating systems, but these are often lacking in terms of ease of use and user experience and are therefore not the best option should I want my relatives to make use of them as well.

1Password passes the litmus test which is getting my wife to actually using the password manager that I installed her. I didn't have much luck with open source alternatives.

I use 1Password. Not a security expert, but the site looks trustworthy and they have been recommended in various places. Extensions for all browsers, but not open source. Here’s a discussion on this: https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/22686/open-sour...

I used to have a favorable opinion of AgileBits but I can't recommend them after they started their push to subscription-ware. And if you look at this URL: https://1password.com/sign-up/ it appears that they are still playing games in regards to letting people know that there is a regular version that you can pay for up front. Personally, I would recommend finding an alternative.

Can't see the regular version no more
