I was just offering it as a suggestion. Some people like to keep things on their own computers (or servers) and keepass offers that. I use Lastpass, which is hosted and I trust them with my passwords. I simply use keepassx to store two factor reset codes. I do this because if I store my reset codes in the same system as my passwords, then it's not very two-factor anymore, is it?



I completely understand. When people ask me which they should use, I outline the pros/cons of Keepass, LastPass, and 1Password. If you want password management for free, KeePass rocks. If you want to pay, it's definitely a tossup between LastPass and 1Password. I think they are all awesome tools.


This is an aside, but your comment reminded me to check why I've never even considered using 1Password and happily pay for LastPass.

A brief visit to their website later and I remembered: 1Password doesn't have Linux support. It's a shame; it looks really nice and I don't mind paying for good software.
