Yes, me too. It took some missteps with shitty Lastpass before I finally found it. I sync directly from my computer to my phone and from my computer to my NAS. I've thought about syncing to Google Drive or some other service like that and it is an option, but so far hasn't been necessary. I don't see why my password data should ever have to leave my machines if I don't want it to. And it doesn't.

Your phone... I'm sure your data is hopping over many machines.

Can you explain? I use my home wifi to sync to my phone. I'm sure my data is not hopping over many machines, or any machines I do not control.

Fair enough, as long as you're sure that the app is not active when not on your specific wifi network.
