There are clients available for Linux, Windows and OS X, as well as unofficial clients for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, Blackberry and most web browsers.ĭepending on your platform, KeePass may not be quite a simple as LastPass, but it does place everything directly under your control, which means you won't have to worry about any web services shutting down or company being sold. You can then sync that database file using the syncing tool of your choice and access it on any device that has a KeePass client. KeePass is a database that stores encrypted versions of all your passwords - just like the hosted services above - that you can secure with a master password, key file or both. There's not much difference between them, though KeePass seems to have better plugin support if you'd like to add extra features like syncing to Amazon S3, a duplicate checker, or better Ubuntu integration. KeePass may be slightly confusing for newcomers since there are two variants, KeePass and KeePass X. Fortunately there are quite a few apps that can do that, most notably KeePass. If you handle the syncing yourself, all you need to worry about is finding an application that can encrypt and decrypt your data on all your devices. But chances are you're already using some kind of sync service - be it SpiderOak, Dropbox, Owncloud, SyncThing, and so on - why not sync your passwords yourself? First you may well find yourself back here again in a few years when the new service is sold and, second, the only real advantage is the built-in syncing. The problem with replacing LastPass with another, similar cloud-based service is two-fold. There's also the biometric-based Sticky Password.
Other services worth investigating include the more enterprise-oriented Secret Server and AuthAnvil, as well as ZohoVault (which is offering a year of its business version for free to LastPass users). The problem with Encryptr is that it currently lacks browser integration, which makes it a considerably less capable LastPass replacement. Browser plug ins are a feature of Dashline
