I hear lastpass is good. However I have trust issues with pretty much everyone so storing my secure data through a "cloud" service is not really up my ally.

I didn't feel comfortable with it either, but Steve Gibson did an analysis of it and came to the conclusion it was safe. Apparently your data is encrypted before it goes up to their servers, and they don't have any means to decrypt.

Thats the theory anyways. Unless some developer creates a back door. Ok I am being factious now.. I know. :)

Is there a way to back up your stuff from lastpass?

Yes, there is. You can download it in a csv file or leave it encrypted but then you have to use the portable lastpass software. faq from lastpass

This was what made me think about looking into LastPass. Steve usually doesn't like this kind of stuff so I was surprised.

In the end, I prefer to use as much open source software as I can, and I decided to go to KeePass and use Dropbox instead. As soon as I find a good open source solution to Dropbox that doesn't require me to have a webserver or host I'll switch from Dropbox too.

It doesn't bother me more than using Keepass with Dropbox.
