Password locker

I've searched and read the forum about securing and backing up travel information, documents, etc.: credit card contacts, account passwords, sending yourself an email PDF attachment, putting a backup on a Cloud service, developing a substitution code for PINs, photocopying things to go in a money belt, leaving info with someone back home, making bogus contact entries on a cell phone, locking your mobile device, and so forth.

I plan to do several of these actions. However, in particular is there a recommended secure Android app that can serve as a “password locker”? I'd like to put account passwords and other information in the locker and have them easily available through a single master password while traveling. One thread mentioned Good Reader but I haven't investigated it.

Thanks.

There are a lot of options. Check out these reviews at PC Magazine, or just Google "best password managers" and you'll find lots of articles and reviews.

I use "Keepassdroid" on my phone. I store it in DropBox.

It is based upon Keepass which is open source password storage software for your PC.

I use Secure Safe - which I believe has a phone app for Android. Used it for over 3 years and it works like a charm!!!

I use LastPass. It can be accessed from multiple devices as well as an android app. The free version is plenty for me.

I downloaded last pass today. So far it seems awesome and the reviews are great.

I will probably only use it to store information (passwords and usernames etc)

We use dashlane. It's convenient and there is a free version that's sufficient for most.
