#25I like how it [the .kdb file, really] can be accessed//written_to in both Linux and Windows, and that it has a usb-portable version.

#26How does it compare to 1Password? Lmgtfy, I know, just wanted HN's thoughts.
It is GPL and you have the control over your keyfile(s). A browser plugin for the commercial services could any time sneak evil bits in, so you might feel less safe with them (they could upload your masterkey or your decrypted keyfile, when asked by the NSA).

#281) It doesn't have to be compiled or installed, since it's just a monolithic HTML page with all JS/CSS inline.
2) It has a free, optional hosted service that stores encrypted passwords with pure client-side decryption, so you can get your passwords from any web-enabled device without having to trust the host.

#29And if you need multiplatform, there is always KeePassX [1]. I use it on Mac OS X, Windows, iOS, Android and Linux, and it just works. [1] https://www.keepassx.org/
The source[1] is also on GitHub too. As a non-c++ programmer, I found it pretty easy to follow along.

Looks like the menu widget and icons are not using GTK for whatever reason. It may be worth pinging the KeePass developers with a screenshot showing that the GTK theme is not being respected properly when rendering the menu - the menu even looks odd using a light-colored theme like Clearlooks because it doesn't match the theme.
