I use KeepassX on laptops and it's great, but the password manager use-case really falls apart on phones / tablets.

It is slow and awkward to enter a strong master password on a typical mobile device keyboard, having to shift to numeric and symbolic layouts every few characters. So slow in fact that sometimes I forgo logging-in to a service and wait until I'm back at a laptop.

I don't know what the solution is but that's one of the hurdles to wider adoption. Users just want their passwords to be available. Perhaps biometrics is part of the answer.
