I store all my passwords in KeePass. It's a fine password save and 
multi-platform (Linux <KeePassX>, Android, Windows). I only have to 
use one master password. It creates passwords with different strenth.

You can have the encrypted passwords anywhere on a e.g. Dropbox 
location to share the same database on all your devices.

Using it under TDE is especially handy for you can right click an 
entry, copy username or password to clipboard without the KeePass 
window coming to the front and hiding your input data fields (sorry 
for the crude wording - non native speaker).
