[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1611821"] The point of iCloud or Dropbox use is to sync changes you make on one device to all the other devices. Unless you want to do this every single time you make a change for every one of your devices, I would suggest using something like iCloud Keychain. The material stored in the cloud is encrypted, and Apple does not have the keys. This is the same practice that others, like 1Password, engage in. I don't consider Dropbox to be secure in this regard. So yes, I think you should put aside your fear of the cloud and sync your passwords using a program or service of your choice. If you are using a Mac and iOS devices, and just need passwords stored securely (or a way to generate strong passwords), then iCloud keychain will do that job perfectly well for free. If you need a lot of additional features, take a look at 1Password. [/QUOTE]
