LastPass wins based on features (like sharing passwords with a set of employees) and devices&#x2F;browsers supported, but it seriously lacks good usability &amp; polish. Users in our company aren&#x27;t keen on it (the word &quot;hate&quot; is already coming up a lot...), but I don&#x27;t see better options yet.<p>KeePass via Dropbox (I&#x27;ve also used this setup) is less likely to fail randomly but is too complicated to set up for non-technical users -- the application is also fairly ugly and has bad usability.<p>I wish there were better options out there, but haven&#x27;t found them yet. There&#x27;s a promising option at mitro.co which for now is Chrome-only. The Chrome experience is far better than LastPass, but yeah, Chrome-only.

When you say centrally stored, who do you want to store it? I use LastPass, and the LastPass company stores backups. I previously used KeePass but had to manage the backups myself (Dropbox in my case).
