I store the keypass database in dropbox so that my phone and other computers can all access the same db.

if you're worried about the security of that you can even take it 1 step further and add a keyfile to your login requirements. you could just store the keyfile outside of dropbox on the devices.

Yes the lack of syncing is notably missing. That's kind of the tradeoff you get for not using a central service or listing the sites themselves in plaintext (see my note about pass below). I handle it by having a separate private repo for KeepassX and syncing the repo whenever it's updated. It's an opaque blob so there's no real history but it makes it easy to keep my desktop and laptop in sync. I don't modify it too often (seriously how often do you create new accounts?) so it doesn't feel like much of a pain but maybe I'm just set it in my ways.

Pass looks interesting though the convenient way of using it (plaintext name for each site) leaks information. If you're willing to give that up then it sounds like a good idea.
