If I have to leave town and need access to my password vault, I simply upload it to Dropbox (with a very strong master password, of course), and set 1Password to sync with Dropbox. Then when I get home, I can switch back to wifi.

Once the passwords are synced, though, itโ€™s usually not vital to have the vault in a cloud like Dropbox, unless youโ€™re planning to sign up for new services or change passwords.

Thatโ€™s probably equally secure to using LastPass with a good password and/or a YubiKey. If someone can break your protected vault at LastPass, they can also crack an encrypted file on DropBox.

The only way to really be remotely secure is to not place your passwords on a computer. Even a home PC can be transmitting data you think is protected if you have a virus or trojan on your PC.
