How do you sync the passwords between devices (including mobile & non-linux) and keep them backed up?
2 comments

I use the same setup as the GP.

password-store uses git+gnupg so backing them up is a matter of distributing the git repo. My git repo lives on each of my laptops and I have a 'central' host of it...so it's backed up via distribution.

For getting passwords to my phone I use a homemade Android app + small web app that sends them to my phone encrypted on-demand from my laptop or desktop. There are Android apps for using password-store but you have to put your GnuPG keys on your phone for that and I prefer not to do that.

Not the op, but it's easy to sync and back up because it uses git. Password store on android also supports this.
Yup, it's just git. Passwords are files in a git tree so you usually do not run into any conflicts unless you manage to change the same password on both ends, which also should be easy to resolve.
How do you manage mobile (iOS in particular)?

UP (uncle post) mentions a home-made Android app to sync... is there a more mainstream option?
