This is why I always keep my encrypted keyfile on DropBox (usually a KeePass safe and a standalone installation of PasswordSafe USB mode).

This way, you can access your passwords from home, work, or your phone as long as you trust the machine you're logged into enough to log into DropBox and type your password safe password. If you can't tell if the machine is free of keyloggers, you probably shouldn't be logging into anything of personal value.

this. I use Dropbox with Keepass and Truecrypt. You can get these apps anytime from the web, put on USB keychain, or just remember Dropbox and run Keepass and Truecrypt from there. Just make sure to have a very long/secure Dropbox password, as that becomes the weakest link.

There's also Dropbox and Keepass for Android.

I use Keepass, but thought it took care of encryption for me. Is there a compelling reason to use additional encryption...?

The extra encryption is mostly for keys that I use with the passwords on Keepass.
