Can't the myriad keepass app(s) themselves get compromised?

I don't think there is a perfect solution, today lastpass, tomorrow another. I guess you trade control for convenience.

In my opinion, there is a big difference between a closed source solution from a company that stores the passwords on their own systems, and open source software that stores the passwords in a local file.

For this kind of thing, I specifically want something that stores the data locally, that is not part of the browser, and that is open source. Those things together make me more confident that the software is probably ok and can be trusted.
