Ask HN: What password managers can you recommend?

Because they work at a standard level of abstraction (the file system) and can be replaced if necessary. I can replace Dropbox with Box or Syncthing or OwnCloud or rsync or sftp coupled with crontab or an FSEventsD monitor or whatever I want, at any time I want.

1Password's proprietary sync isn't open source and isn't open standards. It is designed to lock me into reliance on a company that has inarguably demonstrated that it hates its users.

My password manager works just like this! It just monitors shared folders and keeps everything in a compressed/32k encoded XML file that you can open with a text editor.

It's 1 file per vault, but multiple people can use the same vault and all are update simultaneously.
