What password manager would you recommend for Linux? I use KeePassX but I wish I didn't have to copy-paste passwords onto website login forms.

I'm wondering this also, only on OSX. I love Keepass on Windows, but the lack of auto-type on OSX is killing me.

Bonus points for something which makes having a central repo of shared passwords possible, Keepass is terrible for this.

I've been using 1Password for a few years now. I'm not qualified to comment on the security aspects of it - I'm trusting them and Apple to take care of that.

But I can comment on the superb quality of the user-facing aspects - it's a pleasure to use, has great iPhone and Dropbox support, and I really like the way they communicate as a company.

I'm working on something like this at the moment, which will be released within the next few months. I can email you when it's ready if you're interested?

I love and use 1Password, but bear in mind that passwords are all it encrypts: the rest of the account details, such as URL, are stored in plaintext for an attacker to harvest. :(

Do you have a reference for this?

I ask because when you drag an attachment to a entry, it states: "The file has been added as a secure attachment."

Leading me to believe it's encrypted (along with everything else in the entry...).
