Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking

After the 100 password threshold is passed, this service costs $1.50 per month for up to 1,000 passwords and 3 users. Plans can be expanded all the way to $40.00 per month with the capability to store 10,000 passwords and share with 1,000 users.

Users are not at risk of having their passwords known by Passpack staff, as user data is encrypted before it reaches their servers.

Passpack is compatible with Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari.
Pro Username/password combinations can be shared with others
Passpack caters to teams by allowing them to easily share credentials with each other.

For users who have already stored their username and password information in a spreadsheet, Passpack makes it easy to migrate all of the information at once. Additionally, Passpack lets users export their info as well.

Pro Auto-fill remembers last user
When a site has multiple credentials (like I have for some brokers and banks), then the most recently used is automatically populated (if auto-fill is opted). This feature is unique (to my knowledge) and spectacular (especially for sites that log you off frequently and re-logging in is required).
