At least in the security circles I'm in, 1Password is the favorite.

KeePassX is recommended sometimes too, but is definitely for the more technically-minded.

There's a low level of distrust for Lastpass.

I'd love to use 1password still, but they have no Linux client (even cli), the web client is long gone, and the Android app is awful.

It's really great software, but I don't feel valued as a customer at all.

Web client absolutely exists for subscribers to their syncing service.

Really? That's great news, I only found information about the ancient one that was special-cased in dropbox. I can't even see mention of it on the 1Password website, but as there's a free trial it seems low risk.

Did they really get rid of the web client? Last I checked they were moving toward the subscription base model and I thought that was more web-centric than the buy-once-and-forget-it version that I'm using.

I use KeePassX, no complaints, no 'official' browser extensions not that I'd use one if there where.

What about KeePass2?

KeePass is an open-source password manager. There are many compatible programs, many with confusingly-similar names, like KeePassX. KeePass2 is the new version of KeePass, which uses a new file format. Most KeePass-compatible programs, including KeePassX, support the old file format and the new one.

Sure, but why prefer say KeePassX over KeePass2?

Unless they know something I don't, I assume people recommending KeePassX are not Windows users.
