Besides, most people pick lousy passphrases anyway. That's why I wrote my own passphrase generator to spit out random gibbersish such as (actual program output):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pgen 8T(U[TcY [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pgen 12 mp{6$}9:_+\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ pgen 24 EQ;WcpgHbT\8pxJD.h_mOwe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
Note that the first character of the 12-character passphrase is a blank space.
Trouble with that is, you have to write them down or store them in a database, which just means there's one more thing you have to worry about guarding/losing.
OK, so I veered off topic, but that's not unusual for me, or for this list. :-)
To veer more....
gpg is good for storing all those passwords in a file. Anyone got a good editing/viewing script?
I've been happy using strip on my pilot. It's a GPL'd app that keeps everything encrypted on the pilot using AES. You need a password to get in. You have to enter it when you turn the pilot on or switch from another app.
