    It's not really friendly to mobile sync, so if you're heavily into that, it's not a full solution. I'm sure you can find a way to securely push the file to the phone as an exercise…

    What? Where did I say I share these passwords? I don't. Go up to my top post. Passwords of any importance are unique, also random, and stored in a text file in an encrypted volume …

    Out-of-touch SV types discover the single-wide trailer, decide to make crappy ones from containers and overcharge for them. You know, Warren Buffet already has that business model …
