Isn't that what lots of password managers do? I understand that one of them syncs point to point, but that has the downside that it probably needs to be on the same subnet.
It's exactly what lots of password managers with browser extensions do. I don't personally use them because I don't want my passwords reversibly stored on a computer that I don't directly control. I have no great philosophical problem with their existence and use by those who want them, I just don't want them for myself. My problem was suddenly finding Google in possession of passwords I never intentionally allowed it to have. This sneak around behind my back stuff means I wasn't in control of my passwords.
