I still use a GPG encrypted org-mode file. Emacs/org-mode opens it seamlessly. I feel like I should move to Keepass at some point, but it's one of those cases

  I use pass nowadays but used to use org for passwords, but in my setup I used to only encrypt the contents of entries, i.e. headings were in plain text. Then I used the function below to decrypt them. Made it easier to browse the file. (cl-defun gk-org-decrypt-element () "Decrypt the element under point, show in a new buffer." (interactive) (save-excursion (let ((transient-mark-mode t)) (org-mark-element) (epa-decrypt-region (region-beginning) (region-end) (lambda () (let ((decrypted-elem (org-get-heading t t)) (bufnam (buffer-name))) (prog1 (switch-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*Org Secret*")) (read-only-mode -1) (fundamental-mode) (erase-buffer) (insert ">>> " decrypted-elem " (" bufnam ")") (newline) (insert ">>> Hit `Q' in order to *kill* this buffer.") (newline 2) (special-mode) (local-set-key [?Q] 'kill-this-buffer))))))))
