I was briefly a user of LastPass until that service lost every credential set I had added to it. I tried a KeePass store in DropBox for a while but the poor cross platform support and mobile support got me to try 1Password. For what little it's worth I've been very happy with 1Password so far; superior UX, cross platform support, and control of my own backups.

Guh? I've got KeePass+DropBox on my Linux laptop, iMac desktop, Windows 7 work desktop, and Android phone. What's missing?

I found it to be possible but difficult to get KeePass running on every machine I want a password store on. When I last used it running the KeePass itself under Mono was an annoying install process, slow to launch, and far from a native UX. Sorting through unofficial contributed ports to find working smart phone apps (and trusting yet another party to manage access to my password store) was also less than ideal.

I'm sure it is possible to get KeePass working smoothly but I'm also happy to have paid for what feels like a better solution to me.
