This memorisation of a vast number of passwords is the killer, of
course, so writing all passwords down is a good idea. Why not record
them in passwd.text? Then
scrypt enc passwords.txt passwords.enc
For access:
scrypt dec passwords.enc
and copy and paste.
A password is required for decrypting passwords.enc. *M05o05m19m19a?
would do nicely. Just a single password to remember. It couldn't get
simpler.
