I've thought for some years that a small inexpensive palm-size
computer, with a truecrypt/tcplay volume, which contains a text file
containing passwords.

Text files are git-syncable (to backup crypt volumes (when mounted of
course)) and this palm device could be unlocked with user-chosen
combination of security options - a USB key or smartcard, pass phrase,
voice, fingerprint etc. I know, a smart-phone :)

But, the point being, a dedicated never-connected to any network
device (ie no phone part, no wireless etc).

And what gets unlocked (very temporarily) is just a text file -
perhaps with a fancy Android-swipey GUI thing to scroll through or
something.

Sorry getting more OT I guess. I'll just, carry on ...
