Help [SOLVED] "Safe Notepad" to keep bunch of passwords?

Hello,

I need to keep a list of login+password safe in my phone.

Classic password managers such as KeepassDX and KeePassAndroid won't do because they require typing each and every item manually in Android with two fingers :-/

I thought about converting a text file into a password-protected PDF, but that won't do, as a PDF can easily have its password stripped.

So what about some kind of "Notepad safe" for Android, that prompts for a password to access a list of text items?

Thank you.
 
LastPass Password manager has always been my password manager. it very protective and all of its data is encrypted. you can use even use it on any pc as well as any android device.

not sure what you mean by "typing each and every item manually in Android with two fingers". i mean you have to have the data entered some how.

as for a secure notepad.....lastpass has an area where you can type in notes that gets encrypted. you can just have all of your passwords and login info there. other than that i don't know of a complete secure notepad that's available.

here is an honest review from cnet:

I use bitwarden as a password manager (works across platforms and on my phone, tablet and computers). Unlock with password or biometrics as you prefer, and can copy passwords via the clipboard rather than you having to retype (if you don't want to type that's pretty much the only option, unless you save passwords in a browser and trust them instead).

But there are also plenty of notes apps that can do encryption, even some that can sync across devices while encrypted (so the company doesn't get to see your unencrypted data - just don't forget your app password or you are screwed).
 
Thanks for the links.

To enter data, in Android, I'll just copy a whole text from my Windows computer (through the web or by coping the TXT file into Android), paste it, and encrypt it in one go. I don't need more than that.

There are tons of "notepad safe" apps, and as usual, it takes forever to find a good one.

Ideally, open-source.

Edit: Safe Notes looks like what I had in mind. I don't like its "slot" thingie at the bottom, and would rather have all notes in a list, where a note could simply be tagged in case I need to filter.

Edit: For others' benefit. I tried a bunch of them, and the closest I found of a free, no-brainer, no-thrill app is "Note Crypt Safe with Password".
