For that reason I trust 1Password in the non-SAAS version. The password vault is stored locally and then snchronized between devices via iCloud. So there is no single point. First there needs to be an exploit for iCloud and second to the 1Password vault. The benefit of this is, the vault is a simple website by itself that can be loaded into any webbrowser without the app.

Oh that’s cool, didn’t realize 1pw had a self-hosted version, will check it out.

Unfortunately, the self-hosted option is only available in version 7. Version 8 is the current version and does not offer self hosting. 1Password has said they will not offer it in future versions either, so it’s not worth getting set up if self hosting is critical to you.
