LastPass... :-(

1Password is better and unlikely to be acquired. They are quite profitable on their own.

And doesn't work on Linux.

Keepass; open source, can store the file wherever you wish, isn't liable to be acquired by a private entity since you can just build your own copy.

Use open source software wherever possible, it's just better that way.

These guys must really be pessimistic about their future if they are accepting a deal of $86/share. Their 52 week high was $96/share, and as high as $120/share last year.

Bitwarden is a nice alternative. And you can self-host the server part if you want.

edit: LastPass is owned by LogMeIn, that's why I mention this alternative.

Does it work to sync between Linux dev machine and iOS phone?

Their browser extension is a non-shitty experience and works cross-platform.

They have recently taken quite a bit of VC money though.
