That's not a notably missing phrase, because it's not open source. Maybe it's notable because you don't trust closed source security products, but if so, you didn't say that. :) Not that I disagree with you. I use 1Password, but in my opinion the fact that it is closed source is definitely a mark against it. If there was anything built on top of, say, GPG that had remotely similar functionality, I would totally use that. Maybe there is and I don't know about it.



You might be interested in STRIP[1] which is built on SQLite and SQLCipher, the latter being an open-source encryption codec for the former. It's up to the user to decide whether and how to use Dropbox, Google Drive, etc., for syncing.

Disclosure: My employer makes STRIP.

Does KeePass and derivatives count as remotely similar? They work well for me


"Maybe it's notable because you don't trust closed source security products, but if so, you didn't say that."

Yes, that was my point :)

That said, at least they document the format.
