Since the company has been acquired what are the plans for the service? http://labs.mitro.co/ says that "The service will continue to operate as-is for the foreseeable future." but there is a lot of ambiguity in 'forseeable.'

While I really appreciate the value of having the client and server code open sourced I don't want to run my own server nor do I want to sign up for a service that, with the changes that will likely happen after the acquisition, could disappear without a lot of warning.

Can anyone clear this up? from Mitro, EFF?

Congrats and thanks!

"Mitro has committed to funding continued operations of its servers until at least the end of 2014. If their code proves to be secure and popular with the community, we will be advising them on how to create a sustainable home for that infrastructure.". Erh. Yes, so I'll be staying on KeePass, strategically "cloud" backupped in encrypted form to my email address (also, yes, this does not solve Android integration..etc. so suggestions are welcome!)

KeePassDroid? http://www.keepassdroid.com/

I recently started using KeePass2Android [1] instead of KeePassDroid. It has some features I really like, like cloudstorage integration with Google Drive, Dropbox and more.

I really, really love KeePass2AndroidOffline. The app itself needs no permissions except the ability to read a file from the phone's local storage. Using OwnCloud's app and the "keep a file up to date" feature, I have my KeePass file synced to my various computers and my phone. Plus, KP2A has the "type this password for me" keyboard instead of relying on copy/paste. I didn't realize until I read the docs for another project, the clipboard is an API that can be hooked by other apps to see what's on the clipboard. It makes obvious sense but I never thought about it.

thanks - swear I didn't notice that my first time through

The best thing would be if they would release the server software. That way you could run the software yourself and be totally independent. If that happens, I'm totally on board. Now I'm still on the fence between this and LastPass

That was part of the announcement.

I'm in the same boat here... What will happen?
