> you could still find yourself in a jam if their service goes down

This is true for many password managers that sync with the cloud. I use 1Password and I've made sure that I install apps on at least a couple of devices because the apps a local copy of the password data that can be accessed offline.

I've done that with another password manager that I used in the past too.

I used KeePass in the past and would likely still be using it if I didn't get 1Password free (free family account if your employer has a business account) and if I didn't need to have secure sharing with my wife.

Let me know if you know of a secure, convenient way to share password entries with another person using KeepPass that doesn't involve you sharing the your whole password database. I know you can have yet another password database that only contains shared records... but that definitely fails the convenience factor.
