At the moment I keep a folder (well, more than one) with details like

Passwords kept with all the other paper work for the account.

Recently I unexpectedly needed some details whilst away from home, so
the system failed!

I am planning now to record the details on portable media for future
proofing. This also allows random answers to obvious questions like
mother's maiden name, first school etc.

I know you can get password managers which can sync between devices but
this places a lot of trust in a remote service, and LastPass has had
some bad press recently.

Assuming that I don't necessarily want automatic generation of long
random passwords and then pasting of them into web browser fields is
there any reason not to use a flat file (or simple spreadsheet) to
record all the details then use a free encryption package to secure
them?

Probably stored on a USB stick.

The main platform would be Windows 10 but Android support would be a
bonus.

The solution should work on the home desktops and the travelling
laptops, so not tied to one PC.

This would also assist in a long overdue upgrade in general security.

Any recommendations most welcome.

Works well for me. It can sync across multiple Windows PCs and there is a
(limited but adequate) version that runs on Android mobile phones too.
