1Password is fantastic.  And it integrates with iPhone apps like Safari.

Are you suing iCloud to sync your keychain?

System Preferences => iCloud => [x] Keychain

I use 1Password on my Mac and iPhone.  Not especially cheap but very 
reliable.

I use the "web" version on my work Mac - (free) and it accesses the 
encrypted folder which is stored on Dropbox (where the web link is also 
stored to load the webpage)

Why not use iCloud Keychain? It's built into the operating system and
works well:

What about storing passwords, CC numbers and application serial numbers?  1P
keeps all of that and there are apps that integrate with 1P so you can easily
fetch your password from the 1P store as well.

I haven't find iCloud's Keychain as suitable for my needs, personally.

YMMV, IANAL, IMHO, etc and all usual disclaimers of course.

Technically Keychain is for storing passwords, not all that other
stuff, but you probably could use Keychain to store other things simply
by creating / looking up the entries manually in the Keychain
application. At worst you could create a simple local webpage called
"Credit Card", etc. with a form, then enter the appropriate details
into that and then get Keychain to remember them, again you'd have to
look them up manually rather than having them auto-entered into other
webforms.

iCloud can share the Keychain passwords, if you have the appropriate
versions of the operating systems and the settings are turned on in
each device.

And all of those devices (real and virtual) can read the iCloud
keychain.

"continue"?  Your there already.  You've been there a long time.

I have an old HP 200LX MS-DOS palmtop computer that I keep all my 
passwords in these days.  I also wrote a program to generate 
cryptographically stron passwords, which I keep on the LX.  The Memo 
application on the LX in which all the passwords are stored is itself 
protected by a password, which is written down in the safe.

The safe's combination is not written down anywhere, only kept in 
memory by myself and my wife.
