I would never trust a closed source password manager!

Who is closed source?

Edit:
I see, lastpass is closed source in a certain way.

LastPass Password Manager is closed source, though many of the extensions can be run in a non-binary mode where the source is available, but LastPass maintains all rights.

I've updated the OP with this information. I've also updated the OP of keepass is opensource.

Sticky this thread NAO.

Too good to let get smothered in the Newbie sewage.

A like thread like this, well, exactly this info but not this thread was once stickied, until a goober pissed me off, I did something I should have not, I took it down, it got unstickied. Then some admins were against it being stickied i believe in the first place. But we can go forth and see if it may get stickied again, I use medication now that keeps me calm. This is the reason I never asked for it to be stickied again because I once lost my temper, and might have thought that had ruined me asking for it to be stickied again. We'll see how it goes and if it can get stickied again, if they be so kind.

Very helpful information. I think the fact that these programs are open source is a good guarantee that they are free of malware which is very important when it comes to password protection.

Regarding security and protection - hardware options are relatively a good choice as well. For example Yubikey, which can be linked to MtGox, which is still used by many. Affordable and acts as an extra layer of protection.
