The problem I see here is "best"

Will the best I know of suffice? Or like others are you dissatisfied with such a limited view?

pocket

pocket (formerly wallet) is an excellent password app that you can store passwords, credit card/bank numbers, insurance, etc. with user defined categories also. As far as the desktop management I'm not sure what you mean. You would doubtfully find an app that handles storing passwords and another function. If you are wanting to control your desktop remotely then try "log me in" there is a server that runs on your PC, an app for your phone, and a web interface all of which allow you to remotely access the PC running the server.

It's a nice one , but the main key is that you could store them on a permanent place (such as a home pc) for ease of access,lost handheld,etc. I had a palm pilot and i used to have crypbox , which was exactly that but unfortunately ,both companies vaporized ,thanks for your suggestion.

I already had this one installed on my samsung Galaxy and i was forced to remove it because it was constantly crashing ,did not allowed me to create names for accounts,had a lot of bugs,etc,etc. It was a very upsetting experience because i had very high hopes for it (i even bought the full version) , so that's why i decided to find out if there was a better thing out there.
