    Recommend LastPass or KeePass?

    Curious which one do you use and/or recommend? I used to use my Palm PDA (ok, yeah I know, ancient but convenient), but no longer use one. I'd have several PC's in my home and a couple I use elsewhere.

    I have concerns with both. For one, LastPass data is stored online, encrypted, but still not within my control, but sounds like it syncs data seamlessly. On the other hand Keepass you can keep on your USB key or on your PC. Not sure if/how well it syncs between PC's. I have a home server so considered putting it there, but would still like access when on the run, but I guess I could always connect to my home server to get the file, again as long as I can sync later (is this possible)?

    Or something else altogether?

    Thanks.

    I use LastPass. It stores your data for offline use according to your last login on the computer, so you don't have to worry if you don't have internet connection. It also decrypt the passwords locally. Plus LastPass can also sync with Blackberry.

    I've been using KeePass for around 6 months now and it's been great...
