I use Keepass 2. With a plugin, it's synced to Dropbox, where I can access it on my Android device with one of the compatible apps.

#22write it down and put piece of paper in pocket
Congratulations for having the patience to write out long strings of characters on paper and type them out repeatedly, but that doesn't sound very safe.

#23I use KeePassXC [1], which is open-source, and I sync it across my iPhone, Windows laptop, and Linux desktop via Tresorit [2] (like Dropbox but end-to-end encrypted). It's secured with a password that I know, and a keyfile that I have. I don't sync the keyfile and always manually transfer to new computers.
I also use Arq [3] to automatically backup to S3 every hour, and I also do manual backup to my external backup drives once in a while.

#24https://www.lastpass.com Free to use, auto password generation, has an iOS app with thumb print unlock (saves you from typing in a long master password). I personally really enjoy it.
Android version also the first thing I set up on a fresh phone. Fingerprint unlock, can input passwords directly into most apps (it matches sites to apps automatically) as well as Chrome.

Agreed on use of keepassxc - fantastic utility.
I don't, and wouldn't, use dropbox or any other non-free non-self-hosted system to manage the storage or synchronisation of my secure data, so it's unison(rsync) and/or ssh'd between desktop and laptop.

#28> I want something that keeps an encrypted file that I can put in dropbox FWIW You can do this with 1Password. Preferences > Sync > Sync with Dropbox
This, IIRC, requires an older version of 1Password. Version 4, from the "Who moved my cheese" discussion of 1Password's most recent subscription changes.
I can confirm this option still exists in 1Password 6 (I'm using the iCloud sync but I see the option for dropbox as well). I'm not sure how to get the license though. I only see the upgrade path that I took - not the outright purchase.

MacOS 1P can still do it for current version and next version, as per their blog post. iOS 1P still does too.
