    I like the idea of a locally stored and locally encrypted password manager because when your passwords are on somebody else’s server with 10s of thousands of other people, that server becomes an attractive target for hacks. Who would bother hacking my computer just for one set of passwords?

    But with something hosted, they do (probably, do your research) have professional security experts working to protect their database.

      I like them being locally encrypted, but them being not (exclusively) locally stored is very important if you want to keep using those accounts after your hard drive fails.
