me too, exactly the same situation.
Infact, I also use it to share passwords with the accountant etc.
You can get a fixed fee product. However, think about the business model.... I want my passwords to be safe forever.... so therefor I should pay for the upkeep of that.
one off cost model... I want my passwords to be safe today... pay today... hope forever that there is never a problem!

I don't understand why you would pay for something you can get for free?
I haven't used 1Password, but I'm probably getting most of the same functionality by using KeePass and a free DropBox account, but it doesn't cost me anything.

That's really expensive. I use a password scheme instead, meaning I derive the password from the URL/service name. This way, password management doesn't exist anymore as it's just an algorithm.

I rolled my own password app many years ago and am quite happy with it...one of my only projects to use SQL CE. Why any developer would pay for such a simple app is beyond me.

I think you guys have missed the point, I'm happy to pay them..
so far I use
ios App on 2 iphones
Google chrome extension
Windows Desktop App
Android app (for accountant)....
$5/month is a complete bargain compared to the development cost of that...

KeePass and KeePass Mobile = Free
Password DB stored in Dropbox Folder and synced between all devices = Free
...Nobody else controlling or having my collection of passwords = Priceless!
With all the hooplah around encryption backdoors, companies working with 3-letter agencies, and cloud companies keeping access to supposed "encrypted" content of thier customers, I'd rather my passwords be encrypted locally, and then synced rather than trust that the companies running the servers can't access the data. The fact it's a free solution to the problem is icing on the cake.

I agree. KeePass is a much better option.

Whats wrong with a Post It (in the Log book for extra security )??
Seriously, I dread to think what would happen if someone hacked a password safe.

I know I often think about that too. It's also why my app does not store your password but generates a SHA256 that you use for your password (from a graphic pattern and a random site key you provide).
But, that is somewhat of a gratuitous plug for my article and opens source project ( Users Hate Passwords (We're All Users): Never Memorize a Password Again[^] ).

The exact price that I expect to pay too.

Personally I pay zero. But I have a coworker who paid for a secure memory stick to hold all his passwords. And of course, he lost the password for the secure stick! lol. The sad part is, after 5 unsuccessful attempts at the password, it DELETES the flash memory. He has used 4/5 attempts and it now sits on his desk to haunt him for the rest of his life... lol

I paid Zero, too.
There's no need for a password manager, really.
As long as we are creative at rearranging the letters of the web address + app name + our unique numbers which is used across site. Using this method, it's almost impossible for somebody to guess it. If somebody do obtain the password, it must be because of hack / security leak / bug, which password manager can do nothing about as well.

I ordered two Amazon Kindles (8" HD 16GB are going for only $49.99[^]) for presents on the same day.
I got one early this morning.
The other one arrived by USPS (United States Postal Service).
The Mail Delivery Person Arrived Twice -- sounds like the name of a good B-rated movie
Anyways, first time I received zero packages. Just regular mail, envelopes etc.
Second time delivery person arrived I had two packages sitting on the front step.
Check it out ==> http://raddev.us/images/cp/amazonKindlePkg.jpg[^]
The Kindle box had been opened!!! What?!!!
That box is clearly sliced open on purpose to discover the contents, but why?
Here are my two answers to the mystery.
Either
1) Delivery person delivered to wrong person. Wrong person opened it up quickly then noticed it was not their stuff, tracked down delivery person and s/he brought it to my house.
2) Wrong person received pkg, opened it up in a flurry. Then noticed, I didn't order this. Looked at address and returned it to my porch with another pkg.
Please provide your answer to the mystery below.

Some Grinch snatched it off your porch... and then returned it after seeing what they actually took.

That's a great first entry.  +5 points for first entry.

If it came from overseas custom may have opened it to check what is in it. It happens to me a lot. Then again I live in land of Kangaroos and Koalas !

That's another good and plausible explanation. +5 points.
I believe this was shipped from a distant land called Indiana and I'm on the strange planet of Ohio.

If that is the case, the customs people typically reseal it, and put a sticker on reading "opened by customs".
(At least, that's what they do in Israel  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
