KeePass + Dropbox is my preferred option. No centralised access to my passwords, available across all devices. There is a great KeePass app on Android that auto syncs with a file in Dropbox, and all my machines obviously just access it via the Dropbox folder. Entirely free.

Personally I like that macOS and Windows apps are different. Those are two different platforms, with their own design paradigms, human interface guidelines, etc. They should have different versions, tailored specifically for the OS they're running on. I don't like apps, usually Electron- or something like that-based, that are exactly the same on all platforms, because they feel out of place on all of them, IMHO.
Thats fine and all but there's some things the windows app just doesn't do or do well at all compared to mac. Searching is one of them, along with being able to use 1pass x with the desktop app for auth. I'm just amazed that they have so many employees yet their window and browser apps are still really lacking. Side nitpick: it's annoying that they're moving to 1Password X. I really don't want to run the desktop app…
I use the desktop app and browser companion extension on both Mac and Windows. AFAIK, it's not going anywhere, even though they are promoting 1PasswordX pretty heavily.

I know they're keeping it around but when you ask for a feature/bug report they push over to 1pass x, pretty defensively too.

Yup I've been using KeePass + OneDrive (and duplicated to my NAS) on all my devices, across all major OSes, for years now. Never had a single issue and love that it's open source with a selection of clients to choose from.
You can also keep your password database offline (airgapped network, USB key/drive, remote/offline devices), and having control of the client + database means you know you can still access those same passwords a decade from now.

> As a personal user, I consider 1Password the GitHub of password management Ah, GitHub. The company which was bootstrapped and profitable like 1Password, but then took venture capital, became unprofitable, and had to sell to Microsoft. Let's hope they aren't the GitHub of password management.
Unless they want Apple to buy them.
Apple already has it’s own, pretty good, password management.

An "ok" password manager is surely a feature Microsoft will add to Office 365, with a pro upgrade to shared passwords, etc
I would say GSuite could also do it, but they'd much rather you move everything to BeyondCorp.
Right now, it seems like none of the big guys provide interoperability on their password managers by design. Apple's works great for apps and Safari, but won't work on Chrome, Google only works on Chrome, Microsoft's doesn't work on an iPhone.

Apple is using 1Password internally : https://iphone.appleinsider.com/articles/18/07/10/apple-look...
There were also rumors of an acquisition at the same time, which were denied.

#3281Password needs to rename their service. I have told non-technical people "oh you should really use 1Password", have have them respond "Oh I do!", only to later find out they meant they use "one password" for every service, the exact opposite of the right thing to do! It is seriously some "Who's on First?"-level bullshit that leads me to have to be incredibly meticulous and careful when recommending their product. Im…
Great point that I hadn't thought of, but is so true! It communicates ok in text, but verbally not well at all. Maybe they can rebrand to "123456"
We already have zxcvbn

#329I'm laughing at all these people saying they've paid them money already. WOW. There are completely free alternatives. https://www.passwordstore.org/ for instance, which has clients and/or client integrations for all platforms and is completely FOSS.
Sorry, but your passwords are some VCs property now, and how/where you use/access them from are a business metric to be sold.

#330Serious question: why does an already-built password manager need 200m?
