Re: [orca-list] Password managers?

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

As far as I know this will not handle any PWs outside of your browsers, and as mentioned in another msg in 
this thread I think you have to pay a bit for 
the premium service to use LP on Android, but double check on that. 
You can put secure notes in to your vault though, so you could make a list of passwords for non browser 
things in to one or more of those notes I guess. 
I tend to encrypt non-browser passwords and other critical small data with gpg so that I can sync the files 
verysecurely between machines, but have just 
started playing with veracrypt. It seems pretty straightforward to use with no acdessability issues that I've 
run in to yet. 
I seem to remember being confused by something about truecrypt, but  may be mistaken. I set up one encrypted 
volume with it and would up never using it 
and deleteing the volume after a few months. 
I'll be using veracrypt though as one can use it with in g-drive, dropbox or whatever on the fly. With gpg 
encrypted docs one has to copy the encrypted 
copy somewhere local that wont' sync before decrypting it, and then copy back after reencryption if any 
changes are made.
