OT³ Passwords Passwords Passwords

For you, I think it's probably all quite simple, so I'll ask you.

On the PC I have about 70 passwords. On the smartphone I have about 30 more passwords.
I have tried Firefox, Chromium and keepass,keepassxc and kwallet. But a correct administration is not possible with them.
It is a mess.

So I have several lists "secret" and "very very secret" with "very important" data.
I can't synchronize the different systems, or connect them with each other.

So my question:
Which tool is suitable for a secure and comfortable password management between PC and smartphone?

Thanks in advance for any advice
Ma

You can try app-admin/pass, see archlinux wiki page.
There is android app and addons for browsers.

If you have access to a nextcloud instance, then its password app may be an option too.

Thanks to fedeliallalinea, coderanger and Elleni for the good advice.

I read the links and started experimenting with pass. On the PC I could install the program "pass" and the utilities, qtpass etc.
Also the small extensions for Firefox and Chromium. I experimented with the android app and openkeychain and wanted to create
a connection between the PC and the smartphone to exchange the directory ~/home/user/.password-store.

But oh yes, it's spring, the sun is shining and I saw the dust flying through the open window. So I took the vacuum cleaner and started cleaning my PC.
Power cable off, screen cable off, all power off. But the PC does not start after cleaning. I think I broke something. So I removed some parts,
exchanged them with old parts but nothing helps. So now I got a very old PC out of the cellar. It had a very old gentoo installed.
(I just got to know all the gentoo blockers from last year.) The last 100 qt packages are being compiled right now.
I wasted 4 days for this. Well, my mistake, bad luck.

Good. Now I have an (old) machine with internet again and can look for a PC replacement.
I have already ordered some small parts from amazon, but the delivery time is currently up to 4 weeks.

Pass has to wait a bit now

Thanks again to everyone.
