I use Keepass2 for my work. I don't trust keeping my DB online, so I have it on a USB drive. I can insert the USB drive into any computer that has Keepass2 installed, including my Android cell phone. I use an OTG USB cable to allow me to mount the USB drive to the Android phone. My only issue with synchronization is in timeliness with copying my DB to a backup USB device. My wife uses the same process, so I occasionally have to sync her DB to mine (and the reverse, of course). Keepass2 has made it easier to sync the independent DB's.
