Too bad it keeps passwords on their servers. I like my passwords to stay local. For this reason, I'd like to try this, but I won't - and probably never will. When will software developers 'get it' and realize that many potential customers are paranoid (and rightly so) about their data?

I wish KeePass' integration with IE and FF was better, but autotype works well enough for me.

Go KeePass!

LastPass doesn't keep passwords on our servers, we keep 256-bit AES encrypted data, for which we do not have the key.

There's a huge difference there.

We're software developers, and believe me, we get it. We're amongst the most paranoid people out there. We used that paranoia in creating LastPass -- worrying about what would happen if our servers were stolen, if we had a rogue employee, etc, etc, and coming up with a solution that is safe because the encryption and decryption happens on your local machine, never at LastPass.
