Just out of curiosity, aren’t you worried that keepasstouch app on the iOS may be compromised?

I have to thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Although I have not seen any reports of keepasstouch being compromised, it is true that it is not open source ... I had meant to download minikeepass, which is. I've remedied the problem. 2FA keeps me pretty safe on most of my important accounts, but I have still changed pw's on many accounts thanks to your comment. Much appreciated!
The export / import and overall setup was pretty painless. I am still able to sync through dropbox just like with 1password. There is also an ios app called keepasstouch which was a breeze to get going and syncs with my dropbox password vault. Finally, the browser extension works in a very similar way to 1password's.
Overall, I definitely recommend it. I haven't lost any functionality or security to my knowledge. I was happy to pay up front for 1password (probably dropped 60-80$ or so for their apps), but, after doing so, just couldn't stomach being forced into their SaaS model. Especially when a similar free, open-source alternative exists.
