A good cross-platform syncing password manager is the partial solution. I recommend https://agilebits.com/onepassword .

(I'm not affiliated, just a user. It works a charm.)

Only downside is that the keychain file is not encrypted as a whole, only the passwords, so if someone steals your database file they've a list of all your usernames and sites that you have an account on (but not the passwords thereto). It's the same for the OSX keychain, e.g.:

    strings ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain | egrep -i 'com|net|org'



LastPass is pretty solid too. https://lastpass.com/


I don't see linux on the platforms list, which really disqualifies this for me. A pity.


Another vote for onepassword. Good stuff.
