You could do it as a single encrypted text file. The UX on it is more difficult. My password manager is frictionless and secure (I currently believe, based on best available info). With a single keystroke, while in a web browser where the majority of my passwords are requested, I fill in the username and the password for the site I am on. Vs. an encrypted plain text file, it has the following advantages: - A single keystroke in the web browser, vs. typing longer commands - No searching through hundreds of entries. At most a small handful is shown if I have multiple logins. - No worries about wiping my terminal scrollback buffer or forgetting to remove the temporarily-decrypted file. - Correct password for correct site, and no thread of lookalike sites - All devices have access to same password list, via Dropbox sync of encrypted DB files. - Can store other structured data in addition to passwords. Even binary data like images. - Can use is as a TOTP, but that is arguably a bad practice. It's convenient though.
