BTW.. Proxypass offers form protection now from what I understand, or secret word protection, something like that. That would make it as strong as strongbox..

The strongest solution right now is strongbox, hands down. From what I understand someone has strongbox running on a load balancer.

He stated that his friends own personal accounts were hacked. That means this isn't a cracker bruteforcing, it is a hacker who stole the password file.
