Re: [orca-list] Password managers?

[Tim <isfeldt gmail com>]

Lol I was thinking the same thing, when I herd the news last week about

sync my passwords between my android and Linux box as well.  I know ff 
sync does this, but was wondering about outside of firefox persay? and 
things stored on my phone.
