Keepass is terrible. Too many bugs and it used to crash on me constantly.

1password is much better. It's $40, but worth every penny.

I've been using it for quite awhile on both Windows and Linux and have never had a problem with it.
You didn't say what OS, but I've been running versions of keepass on Windows from XP through Win 7 now for probably the last 4-5 years and haven't had it crash once.

Am now using it with Dropbox as my main password store on every windows box I own, plus android phones, and a few linux virtuals (via keepassX). All have been solid.

What bugs were you encountering, since you list that as a separate thing from crashing?

I've never heard of KeePass before. I use Password Safe, which is very effective and has been around for almost a decade as open source.

I used to use Password Safe. I switched to KeePass recently because there was an Android version available (the only PWS compatible Android app was read only)
I use KeePassX, because it works on all desktop OSs, including Linux. It is pretty good. Too bad there's no iPhone version.

As a side note, one feature I'd like to see in my password manager software. Say, I suspect that someone might have stolen my passwords db and now owns all the passwords for the websites. I wish I could click one button and the app would do all the job of changing those passwords both in the database and on the websites for me.

I've been using KeePass(X) for couple of years. There are two paid iPhone version (no iPad version though).
Could you specify the names of the apps for iPhone?
