I've found great success with KeePass and Dropbox. I use the Kee plugin in Firefox that allows autofill in the browser, and KeePass2Android on my phone which supports pluggable autofill for browsers and apps on Android.

It's not as trivial to set up as Lockwise or 1Password, but I prefer this setup because:

- 100% Open Source - I own the keyring and can sync it across literally all of my machines, plus the cloud storage provider(s) of my choice seamlessly - The keyring is protected by a key that only I know, no third party is handling the unlock on my behalf



Well, Lockwise is 100% open source, isn't it? I'm not sure there are tools for extracting the data easily, though. This may be your point and I'd agree on that.

But I've been using Lockwise for years (and the previous cloud tool from Firefox, Sync, IIRC) and it mostly does the job. Sometimes I'd like to edit the entries to a finer grain or add foreign passwords (the ones that don't relate to a webpage) but that's it. Extremely easy to get running and sync.
