LastPass Replacement?

I use KeePass. I keep the database in Dropbox and then keep the key on another system. The android version isn't too bad.
How does that work? What does the key do?
-
The key file is how he is able to open the KeePass database. You can set it so that you have to have a file to open the database as opposed to a password.

I switched to 1Password. They have a utility to import your LastPass info.
One problem: the Mac version gets more love/more updates/looks sleeker/works better vs the Windows versionWhat about the mobile version? I haven't been very impressed with the mobile version of LastPass at all, so wouldn't be hard to make a large improvement.
The iOS version is good. I don't know (nor have I checked) if they have an Android version.

If the file is only on some remote machine, how does that help you on your phone?

The Android version I have is Keepass2Android Offline. It seems to work just fine.

OK so you installed the 'file' into the android.

I just use a pass phrase on mine... I'm safe as long as I remember that password, ha ha.

Sorry I've been busy. I have Dropbox on my phone. So the database is updated every time I change something. I also have a key file in a different folder on my Android device, that's required to open the database. So both the correct passphrase and they key are required to open the database.

Another way to do 2FA then. Wonder if all of these can use Authenticator?

Sorry should have worded that better. I store it on another system other than Dropbox. That way if my Dropbox account is compromised they don't also have the key. I manually copy the key to the devices I use from the other system.

Maybe this?

I suppose that's better, but it's not great two factor - you don't know if your device has been compromised and the file is out there.
-
I also use Keepass and have been for about 10 years. I store the keepass db in my dropbox folder and the keyfile on my devices and use a master password. On my phone, I mark the keepass db as a favorite or whatever dropbox calls it, and it automatically downloads the latest version when I make changes on one of my other devices.
-
I've been using 1Password for almost 5 years now. Have it on my MAC, Windows, idevices and Android. Recently they did an upgrade on Android version and all works really well with dropbox for syncing and is secured with the master password.

I use the same method but instead use Keepass I use Password Safe

Password Safe looks interesting. The homepage says designed by Bruce Scneier, I take it he wasn't the programmer then?

Why are people switching from LastPass?
-
Because they got bought out by LMI(Log Me In), I think... and in some circles, LMI has a horrid reputation.

That and they are not free. But mostly the LMI buy out.

For the cloud auto sync options, I'm totally fine paying $12/yr. But the LMI thing does bug me.
