Hi Fabrizio, i think you are being unrealistic.
I'm all for doing due diligence when choosing important software like this (I use 1Password + dropbox btw) but you need to realise their are NO 100% guarantees. Look what happened to Sony, hackers get hold of government data and post it. What I think you should be asking yourself is, will I be able to get any money back if I should be hacked? The answer is invariably yes as you are already part of the minority who understands technology and isn't stupid to use guessable passwords or the same one across multiple sites. As someone pointed out, you have to trust someone somewhere in order to do anything. LastPass, KeyPass, 1Password all have a lot to lose if their software is not good enough. Personally, thats good enough for me. They should have the smart people staying on top of this situation for me. Lifes too short, move on.
