If you don't want to use an online passwrd manager like LastPass, you |
| 11 |
could use a local solution. I use KeePassX, which is available for Linux |
| 12 |
and Android (and some minority OSes). It stores the passwords in an |
| 13 |
encrypted database file, protected by a master password. As it's a single |
| 14 |
file it is easy enough to keep this synchronised between devices. I |
| 15 |
initially did this with DropBox but soon switched to Syncthing. |

|

It's just another file to keep synchronised between devices, so use |
| 18 |
whatever method you already use for that purpose. |
