As I have migrated all my information over to my new Android I've 
decided to get paranoid. In the past, I had kept some information on 
Palm then Blackberry Memo Pad. On the Palm, you could password protect 
some, but not on either Blackberry or Windows. I did try to use KeepPass 
on the Blackberry, but it caused the Blacklberry Desktop manager on 
Windows to crash. My requirements are:
1. Cross platform Android, Windows, and Linux.
2. Be able to syncronize the data bases. Storing the data base on the 
microSD would work since it is available when plugging in the Android.
3. In creating an entry I need to be able to cut and paste (If I recall 
I was not able to do this with either of the password managers I tried 
on Blackberry.

There are a number of password managers for Android, but the only 3 that 
I know of are fully cross platform. I'm just looking for suggestions at 
this point.
Keeppass                        Open Source
KeeppassX                      Open Source - Originally based on Keeppass
Keeper data vault          Closed Source - Free for Android (and other 
Smartphones) $$ for Linux and Windows



A couple of other comments on the Motorola Backflip. When you connect it 
to either Windows of Linux, it asks you whether or not to share the 
microSD or whether you are just charging the device. So far, it does 
everything I expect it to do and more.
