We are much, much safer with open source password "vaults".
Agree, Keepass is fully open source.

I don't like browser based passwords. Those can be potentially exploited by browser vulnerabilities, or just someone sitting in front of the PC and using the browser.

I use Keepass because it's authenticate once, use it for everything (even non password stuff like credit card info). I have it set to auto-lock after a certain time, or if the PC screen saver comes on.
