Be careful: that sort of behaviour can get you fired and potentially land your company in hot water from a legal and/or compliance standpoint, as well as lose them customers.
Compliance is often as much, or more, about having and following documented processes, as it is about having good processes. This can include an approved list of software and services. If you step outside this you are likely breaching your compliance regime.
In the specific case of passwords you may have policies and procedures around secret management that would be violated by storing this information in the cloud, even with a service specifically designed for this. As stupid as it is, the quality (or lack thereof) of your current solution is not the key point here.
If you decide to get all subversive and start using a cloud service then, at the very least, if discovered you're going to get into trouble. At worst, if customers become aware they might leave, and as I've already said, the company might find themselves in legal difficulties.
