It syncs your passwords across all your devices, will auto-fill login forms, and makes it about as easy as possible to have a different random password for every site.
is there a local copy or is it entirely on their servers?

what i like about 1password is that there's a local copy, so you don't need connectivity to access anything and if you don't have connectivity, updates to/from other devices are deferred until you do.
