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 real lifesaver, for such an important application category (at one time, as a sysadmin, I had 650 passwords in the vault), and I never have to worry about what platform I'm running at the moment.
1Password on Linux

Re: 1Password on Linux
#12This 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'd be interested to see the kind of hoops one would have to go through to run Linux-only software on Windows with a reverse-engineered frontend made by a single guy on his free time.
There are plenty of valid arguments about Linux on desktop, but this is not one of them.

#13I 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/)

#14You 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.

#15would be nice if there were a bookmark synching service (paid even) which works across browsers/machines etc.

It's too bad that LastPass feels like a highschool project by a dude and a couple of friends.
Zero consistency between the browser plugin, the vault, the app, and the mobile app. Even within the vault there's little consistency between different panes.
I'd like to believe that they know what they're doing crypto-wise, but damn that UX feels mickey-mousey. Even something as simple as using up/down over the autocomplete list misbehaves.... ;(
... and don't get me started on Basic Auth support on Chrome OSX

There is a certain amount of trust you put into lastpass due to it's closed nature that you wouldn't by using something like KeePass, isn't there?
Re: 1Password on Linux
#19Earlier quoted context omitted.
The problem I have with KeePass is that it doesn't integrate with my browser well. LastPass does marginally better (it has an extension but I'm not loving it). There's a Firefox extension for KeePass called KeeFox, but it needs KeePass to be open and running all the time, which is annoying to me because it needs an extra window.
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.

If anyone wants to test out this setup, you can boot owncloud 8 onto a running box in about 30 seconds using this snapshot: https://www.terminal.com/snapshot/728c65da91ab44fd8616212385...
