Lastpass puts all my passwords and account details on someone elses server which, not matter how secure presents a huge single target to the bad guys. If it was compromised I'd be in deep dodo.
Very strong password? Nothing to worry about.

Lastpass does this automatically without needing Dropbox.

To be honest I'm a bit baffled by people who say they won't trust LastPass because their (client-side encrypted) passwords are stored on a remote server, yet are apparently quite happy to sync their Keepass data file via SkyDrive, Dropbox or whatever. At the end of the day the net result is pretty much the same, except the LastPass route is more streamlined and convenient.
True, I just worry a little about the size of target LastPass is for bad guys. On top of the encryption with Keepass I have a degree of security through obscurity - who's going to bother to try to decrypt one individual encrypted file with a strong password even if they did happen to get it.Very strong password?

Looks like you need to pay to use it on Android. I'll stick with completely free Keepass thanks.
$12 USD a year for that which is hardly expensive.

It's not just a case of it updating automatically - it's the automatic form filling and tight integration with all the major browsers which makes LastPass so convenient (I don't use the Android app so can't comment on it). Yes, KeePass also has browser plugins, but they don't work as well in my experience, and having to involve a separate cloud provider just makes it all seem a messier and more cobbled-together solution IMHO.I think it's the fact you have a choice whether it's on a server somewhere or not. Not everyone needs it synced between devices so won't even be using dropbox, meaning it is only stored on their local machine.
Plus, I've renamed my KeePass database to a different file ext. aswell so if anyone does get access to my dropbox account they won't even know they've got a database full of my passwords.
Also you mention LastPass being more streamlined. Dropbox updates automatically anyway so I doubt there's much difference.
Does anyone use this , or something similar. I have so many passwords now to all kinds of things I find my self using the same or variations of the same.
How good are these password apps. Are they secure ? What about if the data gets corrupted ?
Can 1Password see all your password?
