I used gringotts, that someone mentioned.
Some of the applications I run use kwallet, that seems similar to what
Russell Cooker described for OS X.
But I use vim (+gpg, that is). Which is a solution similar to the one
Stephan talks about, but without having to mail yourself every password.
I took it from somewhere I can't remember so credit goes to whoever wrote it.
What this does is:
- If the file extension is .gpg or .asc, call gpg --decrypt to get the real contents
- Edit the file
- Call gpg --encrypt before writing to disk.
So you keep everything encrypted with your GPG key.
