No, but my understanding is that with 1passsword and similar service the web client sends the password in unencrypted form to the server. A rogue employee, is even the combination of a bug and a leak would expose your password.

With keepassx, your password never leaves your device in unencrypted form.

This is very much untrue. 1Password syncs an encrypted vault through separate channel (e.g. Dropbox, iCloud) -- it has zero-knowledge of your passwords. It just picks up a big encrypted blob from wherever you store it.

"The easiest way for us to protect your data and data about you is to not have that data in the first place. You may be noticing a theme by now: we can’t reveal or abuse data that we don’t have.

We do not have your 1Password data. We do not know your 1Password Master Password. We don’t even know if you use 1Password. We do not know how many items you have in your vault or their type."

Thanks for the clarification.
