I'm not likely to trust a company that doesn't provide a postal address and some company details with any of my confidential information.

25.3MB for this? Might as well put your passwords on a Microsoft Word table and password protect that document for 2kb. Whats the difference?

Since I am using Sticky Password, I will compare this with it. While Sticky password only requires you to remember 1 password to access all you accounts, in Secret Box (SB), you need to create a new file for each category with each own password: Accounts, Network, Credit Cards, Secret Notes, Software. And one of the disadvantage of this SB is that it is not autofilling. You need to copy it from the opened file after entering your password, and paste it. Not really convenient, quite cumbersome procedure compared with Sticky password, when you do not need to create any file, you just think of a strong password, enter the program, and start entering your data, website login and password, etc, and when you go to that website, with Sticky Password activated, it simply autofills login data and password. Another feature lacking in SB is the automatic adding in of new login data and password that you might create when you visit a website. In Sticky Password, when activated, while browsing a web, and you happen to join some forums, etc, where you created a account with login in information with a password, it automatically detect it, and an option is opened to ask you if you will want the data to be stored in it.
Ashraf suggested in his website Dashlane, as a free alternative, and I tried to install it, but decided to terminate after reading the User's agreement. You will agree that your data will be sync with some cloud. I will never trust any cloud synchronization of your secret data, no matter how safe they say it will be. You can store it locally on your computer with encryptation why take the chance to paste it on the wall even when they say "it is safe". After all a thief will not tell you that he will rob you, but does it anyway.

Well, despite its very low (and misleading) users rating, this GAOTD looks like a pretty GOOD tool to organize any kind of password you have to deal with on a daily basis (VPN, credit card, FTP servers, web accounts etc...).
My only concern is: what happens if you lose the GAOTD key, following a PC crash?

For this reason FREE & OPEN SOURCE software are probably a better option for this kind of apps: do you agree with me, dudes?

In the review mentioned in 1st post, the con about keepass seems like the best reason to use it. First it is open source which anyone can validate there is no back door to steal your passwords.
As a password manager, I don't want that program to have internet access. Do you really trust your bank password out there in the "cloud"? Also we know there are many security hole with many of those web browser. I would avoid password integrated to web browser if possible.
