You could run 1Password for Windows under WINE on Linux.
Does that actually work well with 1Password? In my (years-ago) experience with WINE it was hit or miss whether a given app would reliably work in it.
1Password, by far, is my favorite password manager.
This article is the perfect example of why not to use Linux on the desktop. A lot of fiddling around that eventually leads to a result that is far inferior to what you'd get just using OS X or Windows.
I use keepassx ( https://www.keepassx.org/ ). Works well and I am able to sync it with ownCloud I have on a VPS. Also, I only use my machines to log on to services, can't bring myself to trust anyone else's machine. For android use, I have Keepass2Droid ( https://keepass2android.codeplex.com/ )
If you modify a password on machine A and a different on on machine B, resolving the conflict requires manually exporting both to XML, manual merging, etc. It's a real pain.
The documentation was a bit lacking when I started, so I wrote an article with instructions:

would be nice if there were a bookmark synching service (paid even) which works across browsers/machines etc.

Lastpass ( http://lastpass.com/ ) has been my holy grail of vital cross-platform apps for many years now, as I've switched from Linux to Mac and back and forth and always with the Windows. Sure, it's a browser plugin, but it works just as well with Chrome and Safari (and probably Firefox and, , IE). Their touch-unlockable iOS app is just icing on the cake. I'm not getting a dime for this endorsement. It's just been a…
I only use it because I have to at work. 1Password is much more convenient.
I'm using pass on OS X and Linux (synced via Dropbox). It's an open source terminal based password manager and uses GPG under the hood. I don't have a mobile client, but the amount of times I've needed a password on mobile when I don't have my laptop around are far and few between.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
KeePass works better is you set it up to use Auto-Type, which sends keystrokes to the window manager to type the passwords into the fields.
I've used keepass ona a daily basis. Auto type failed with my usage patterns - essentially I have multiple entry points per site (enterprise app) and each has a different titlebar text.
Hide KeePassX's window:
Just open the settings, click the first two checkboxes ("system tray icon", "minimize to tray instead of taskbar") and add `keepassx -min` to your login script. It'll ask for your password and disappear.
Title bar:
KeePassX does use the browser title bar and it's sometimes not reliable. It's easily fixable, though. Install a Greasemonkey plugin to your browser and add scripts such as this one:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Google
// @namespace google
// @include //" rel="nofollow">https://accounts.google.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
document.title += " | Google";
Browser plugin:
I like how I could type "gmail" in Alfred and have 1Password do everything for me. I was able to reproduce that with a bash script that I call from my own launcher and it works just as well, if not faster.
#!/bin/bash
nohup xdg-open "https://example.com/" >&/dev/null &
wmctrl -a Opera
sleep 1
xte 'keydown Hyper_R' 'key dollar' 'keyup Hyper_R'
Last line simply simulates my KeePassX Auto-Type shortcut (which I got from OS X, yes).
Update:
are newlines, can't believe it's this hard to post code snippets here.
