Its interesting that the unix world outlook of simple tools doing one thing make this simple. My encryption layer is encfs, my storage and sync layer is dropbox (although I used unison a long time ago) and I don't use the browser interface layer so I hand type passwords. At least this way I never forget any. Oh and for password creation I use pwgen for important stuff (the credit union) and silly names for unimportant stuff (social media) Individually those small simple tools are well optimized and pretty safe. Yet monolithic top to bottom windows style all in one solutions always fail miserably such that it smells impossible to actually implement. Which it might be, for practical, and possibly legal, reasons. This is interesting because its a real world example of what happens if you let the general public be unix sysadmins. It is possible, that just like some knowledge is only for the cognitive elite, some computer automations and features are inherently by the complexity of what they do, only for the computational elite. If this isn't a specific example of something on that borderland, its an interesting topic to think about in general.
