I found pass [0] to be extremely useful especially if one is using OpenPGP (e.g. GPG) already. For desktop there is QTPass [1] for Android Password Store [2]. There is pass-otc [3] for storing TOTP secrets. There is browser pass extension [4] for Chrome and Firefox. Coupling this with hardware token such as Yubikey one can require PIN and touch input to decode password. In the same time the password repository can be stored in private bitbucket git repository. Personally it's a perfect combination of security and convenience. The design is incredibly simple, if all these apps fail I can just use gpg to decrypt secrets. The only downside is that filenames are stored unencrypted in git repository so Bitbucket can see what sites do I use but can't see usernames or passwords (obviously).
