I'm a 1password user, but I'll definitely be checking this out. Having recently switched to Windows, I'm liking it a lot less. To put it charitably, their Windows version is not quite as nice as the Mac and iOS releases.

It's a sunk cost at this point, but owning 1password on 3 platforms is expensive. $70 for my laptop and desktop, and another $18 for my phone. But I bought into it because the Mac version is great and I was primarily a Mac user at the time. Oh well.

There's no method to reset Mitro, so if you're like me and Mitro ran into an error partway through importing your KeePass database, you won't be able to reset Mitro and try importing with a different method.

Do I seriously have to click manage->delete secret thousands of times just to reset Mitro?

Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care about their Windows users at all. I just try to ignore the Windows desktop app because at least the Chrome extension is fine in Windows.

Not really, nobody is forcing you to delete everything manually. You can always implement the feature yourself!

(Sorry, didn't meant to be that guy, but seriously don't know why people expect a clearly new piece of open source software to do everything they want.)

I imported my LastPass vault into Mitro, but can't get it to auto-fill pages I have stored data for. I have to search for the page and then click "sign in".. Am I wrong in expecting it to work exactly like Lastpass did?

Strange, if the URL is shown in the 'details' view, the dropdown should show up. If not, please email inbound@mitro.co.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That is absolutely the intention. Currently the docs are lacking, but we will try to add directions about running your own server in the next few days.

Will there be an option to use your own server in the chrome extension and android app? Or will I have to compile both with my custom server address?

The chrome extension already supports this via an option on a hidden preferences page: chrome-extension://EXTENSIONID/html/preferences.html
