Pros
Pro Cloud & Wi-Fi sync
mSecure offers syncing through cloud storage services such as Dropbox and iCloud and a possibility to sync locally over Wi-Fi if you opt not to use cloud storage.
Pro Does not depend on the cloud
mSecure doesn't force backing up your passwords to their servers.
Pro Lightweight
The utility itself has no GUI, and is written in Python, so it’s portable and has few dependencies.
Pro Requires little to no storage
Passacre needs only a configuration file to tell it how to hash passwords, what kind of output it should produce, and which sites need specific generation rules. There’s no database where passwords are stored, so it’s not possible to be locked out of everything if that file is lost.
Cons
Con Can't autofill
mSecure won't automatically fill in forms, including login forms, like most other password management apps do.
Con Can't capture passwords
Con Requires knowledge of the command line
To use passacre, some knowledge of the command line as well as Python is required.
