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