I have installed keypass2android on my phones which should be able to use the
same database but have not tried it to see how to actually use a password
manager on a touchscreen device... Apparently there are also concerns about apps
having "unlimited" access to the clipboard so one should use the
keepass2android keyboard. Sounds like a hassle...
