I use 1Password. I have for several years. Last year I updated to their
1Password for Families service. Things to note about 1Password:

1. your data is encrypted locally _first_ with your master password
2. they are very clear about how they work

3. if you stop paying for the service, you don't lose access to your data
4. icculus has written Linux tools for accessing the data (no quarrels from
Agile Bits) https://icculus.org/1pass/
