The KeePass database is strongly-encrypted before you put it up on Dropbox, so you're not relying on Dropbox's own encryption (I wouldn't either).
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 a…
If you stay within the Apple ecosystem, 1Password is great. If you stray outside of that bubble, not so great. Their Android app sucks (quit putting an icon in my system bar every time I open the app, for starters), and the Windows version isn't so hot, either. Yeah, it's pricey, but in the end I think it's worth the aggravation and time it saves me.
I'll use this as an opportunity to give a shout out for my new favorite password manager: pass [0] It uses gpg to encrypt passwords that are then stored locally, but can be synced using Dropbox, rsync, unison, etc. It is a command line program, so it doesn't have things like browser integration, but on a mac, a little Automator magic alleviates most of that pain. Besides, after trying 1password, lastpass, and a few o…
Very nice, but: 1) one of the reasons I use a password store is to share passwords with my wife. I can't imagine her using this 2) iPhone? Android? 3) 1password's integration with the browser is very helpful: since I've been using a linux box as my day-to-day machine (where 1password doesn't have a native version), I've been using it significantly less, because it adds friction. On Mac OS, I would just auto-gen a hor…

It has desktop app, a browser extension as well as android and iOS apps.

I refer you to the techdirt article linked above. If you upload a KeePass file to dropbox now, you may be vulnerable to a way of cracking keepass files available at some future date .

Wait, you switched from Mac to Windows? How's that going?
I'd been dual-booting OS X / Windows on my desktop already because Apple's GPU drivers are garbage, so it wasn't a huge step. Dropping OS X completely was mostly based on being a game dev hobbyist who's doing a lot of 3D work and digital painting. OS X had turned into a web browsing and email platform for me, and I can do that just as well elsewhere.
The experience with 1password is far from unusual though; Windows doesn't have a lot of developers making software of any quality. For every Mac program I try to find a substitute for, Windows has 30 different options that are all equally bad (looking at you, IRC clients that aren't Colloquy). So if you rely on a lot of little 3rd party software, it's not a good ecosystem. But if all you need is Firefox, blender, Unreal Engine, and Substance Designer, it's not a problem.
And that's not even mentioning the price of a Mac with an upgradable GPU. I could do yearly GPU upgrades on my desktop and still be cheaper than a baseline Mac Pro.
So unless you want to spend a lot of time repeatedly trying to delete duplicates (created by failed imports) and/or every single entry, stay away, for now.
