I've been using this method with good success, but instead of wiping the
tempfile I found page showing how to keep vim from putting the file into
a buffer/tempfile. See the url below for more information.

The only problem I have with it is I can't carry my passwords with me
and read them from other computers. But that's probably better for
security anyway.
