I can't recommend LastPass enough. Also, PIA for VPN. I put a little cash and my credit card in my phone case so that I have only one thing to carry and always have money on me. I really liked f.lux when I used windows, if only I had a decent replacement for ChromeOS.

I really want to like LastPass, but I can't get over all of my passwords being stored on someone elses server. Doesn't that seem like a terrible security risk?
The LastPass vulnerabilities affected only bookmarklets (used by less than 1% of LP users, according to LP) and OTPs (no estimates for use).

I've been using LP for over a year, didn't know either feature existed until the disclosure: I use it strictly for its main capability, encrypted and unique site passwords.

The data is decrypted client side only. The server only stores an encrypted version that you send via SSL.
I'm a big fan of KeyPassX which you use can easily store locally or sync via Dropbox.
when android apps work on chrome, use lux[1] (if there isn't a chrome app by then). it sells itself on brightness, but will also adjust warmth by time/location.

You can use orange/yellow tinted glasses instead of f.lux, also works vs other sources of blue light.
