- The free and open-source KeePass isn't for everyone, but if you're willing to put in some effort, it's one of the most powerful password managers out there.
- KyPass - $6.99, seems non-freely licensed, couldn't find licence, supports WebDAV for sync, supports TouchID. I also found out about Keepass Touch which is not on the site above. Its website is in German and I couldn't find any other information (licensing, source code, etc.) It seems MiniKeepPass is the least problematic - what are you using?
This is the official website of KeePass, the free, open source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager.

KyPass 4 – Password Manager (Link) KyPass enjoys high popularity amongst the KeePass community of iOS users. With a rating of 4.4, the app helps you protect your passwords by using the same database format as KeePass. Besides the hygiene set of features, the latest V4 built has several improvements and enhancements.
Why KeePass?
Today, you have to remember many passwords. You need a password for a lot of websites, your e-mail account, your webserver, network logins, etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use a different password for each account, because if you would use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password, you would have a problem: the thief would have access to all of your accounts.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can store all your passwords in one database, which is locked with a master key. So you only have to remember one single master key to unlock the whole database. Database files are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES-256, ChaCha20 and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.
Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source code and check whether the security features are implemented correctly.
As a cryptography and computer security expert, I have never understood the current fuss about the open source software movement. In the cryptography world, we consider open source necessary for good security; we have for decades. Public security is always more secure than proprietary security. It's true for cryptographic algorithms, security protocols, and security source code. For us, open source isn't just a business model; it's smart engineering practice.
