I don't want *any* computer outside my control to have my passwords,encrypted or not!

That's why I was a happy SplashID user for years (Palm, iOS, Mac, Windows, Android, and others) ...
I could share my password locker (database) between my devices, and there was absolutely *NO*
moving of my data to a server in the cloud (or anywhere else outside my control).

Then they went and screwed it up with their version 7, which unconditionally loads
stuff to the cloud.  I'm on version 6.2, and have to constantly tell my iPhone and iPad
"no, don't do an 'update all'", and manually update my other iOS apps.  At least on Android,
I can install what I want *and* I can turn off auto-update for selected apps.

Other options:

   1password

      Although it allows for syncing via the cloud, it also supports local-only sync,
      so you can keep your data private.

   keepass

      No cloud, no worry.
      And, it's open source!

Both support iOS, Mac, Windows, and Android.  (keepass supports a few more)
