I used to have a local only manager but then, obviously, syncing becomes a problem. And then it becomes a choice between syncing an encrypted blob using your own solution (potentially not very secure) vs using a provider who still treats your data as an encrypted blob with no access to the data and tries to do it securely. I think the provider is still more secure (again assuming the 1password access model not talking about LastPass-like providers) plus much more convenient. So if not 1password what would be a recommendation assuming syncing is required?
