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. The documentation was a bit lacking when I started, so I wrote an article with instructions: http://www.stackednotion.com/blog/2012/09/10…

Most password managers on Android are bad news bears anyhow: http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/11/using-a-password-man...

I think that argument would affect many desktop password managers as well. Also, LastPass in particular supports a Firefox extension that works with Firefox mobile.

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…

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?

I've read multiple independent audits of the LastPass client (such as http://www.martinvigo.com/a-look-into-lastpass/) that haven't found any major issues, and for the issues they do find the LastPass team has always responded promptly. On the server side, LastPass's service is basically just encrypted blob synchronization, so the software doesn't particularly matter.

This also exists for lastpass https://github.com/lastpass/lastpass-cli . Very solid cli application.

This. The ability to use lastpass and pull passwords out for use in scripts, offlineimap, is really lovely.

The lastpass cli utility also supports their two factor options. So you get scriptability, ubiquity, and two factor. Killer.

I note this above but want to emphasize the fact that lastpass-cli supports the lastpass two factor options. For anyone looking for a tool like this for use both in browser and in scripts, it's great to have two factor natively supported in both places.

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 autocomplet…

Basic auth is a browser limitation. If you visit a site through the LastPass menu, it'll do the basic auth dance.

I actually run the windows latest version of 1Password under Wine on Ubuntu 14.10 and it works perfectly. I just use the app GUI, not the browser addon so I cannot comment on that.
