So I tried it out with only a few, non-vital accounts, until I felt more comfortable with my more important accounts. My understanding of how it works is that your database of passwords is encrypted and decrypted locally on your computer- they have no access to the database, as well as do not have a copy anywhere of your master p/w. A lot of people have brought up various security issues and concerns in the forums, and they've always been answered by the developers. I feel completely comfortable using and recommending them. Also, I have no connection to them whatsoever, I just really like the product. John Hi Miles,

I considered using it, but decided not to because I am wary of sending such sensitive information to a third party, regardless of encryption. A key feature for me was having local databases, which is also a feature of 1Password. Miles Hi John,

It's similar in a lot of ways to Roboform, except it's totally free. They've implemented lots of new features just in the short time I've been using it, and they have an active forum as well, with developer response time usually pretty quick.
