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.
There are many password managers that don't use a cloud service
themselves, but will sync an encrypted keystore across devices using
your own choice of cloud (Dropbox/Amazon Drive/Gdrive blah blah). Best
of both worlds.
I use 1password and keepass for different things, with their keystores
held on different cloud services. 1password because it is clever and has
much browser/phone integration, keepass because it's very dumb and just
has a 2fa keystore.
A folder of text files or even password-locked Excel sheet on a cloud
drive or USB isn't quite the same thing, security wise...
