I just open-sourced my iOS password manager with dropbox syncing

    Gave up trying to sell it, so here's the source code - hopefully some budding iOS developer out there finds it instructive.

    Peace :)

    Interesting work. I've been thinking about doing something similar for a long time. I'm not on OSX though and I'm a Perl guy.

    Someone once suggested to me an encrypted text file + dropbox. You could use pgp or gpg for encryption. Also Vim 7.3 has blowfish encryption: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Encryption

    Obviously an app has the potential to be more convenient and user friendly. But a text file is a very flexible solution.

    Always great to see examples of more complicated iOS apps.

    Did you ever have a desktop side implementation, maybe a chrome extension? I'm a longtime 1Password user, and would have to say the ability to use the same password manager on my iPhone and Mac, sync'd via Dropbox, is a big reason for that.
