For what it's worth, I built a little app for just such a purpose.
It's all in html and javascript, so it'll work on most any OS with
Firefox (and probably IE, I haven't checked in a little while). On
top of that, you can put the entire thing (data and executable) on a
thumbdrive and take it with you. Finally, it uses markdown, so you
get a bit more formatting than a simple text file. It uses a
javascript AES implementation, so it's reasonably secure.

Take a look and let me know what you think!
What I think is that this is seriously cool!
Some suggestions:
* When I choose "decode", I really want to be able to hit "Enter"
after I type in the passphrase.
* When editing, I can Tab out of the edit box, but I land on my
browser's URL field. I'd rather land on the "Preview" button and be
able to hit "Return".
* I don't want to be prompted for a fresh passphrase whenever I
encode--just when I decode. Would that be possible?
* I wish Markdown supported simple tables:
| sitename | username | password | comments |
When reading the Markdown syntax, I saw this "To specify an entire
block of pre-formatted code, indent every line of the block by 4
spaces or 1 tab." :-)
While the other suggestions in this thread are fine, I'll be giving
StrongWiki a spin.
Some more things:
* I often lose my cursor in the edit box. It's logically there and I
can edit, but I can't see it at all. I'm on the latest Firefox
2.0.0.11 for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
* I pasted in a large amount of text, edited and saved. When I went to
decode it, JavaScript barfed:
"Codegroup data truncated. Attempted decoding with data received."
Then the page said:
"Bad passkey or corrupted data. Please try again."
I tried my password a few times, but no luck. The text is lost to me.
I've tried to recreate it with a smaller set of non-sensitive data,
but no luck. So all I can offer are clues:
* I first took an existing "swiki" file and copied it to another
directory, renaming it in the process.
* It was 87 lines of text pasted from an editor.
* There were lots of tabs in each line and a variety of characters.
Since the data ultimately came from Excel there could have been
non-ASCII characters.
I suppose the data is all your passwords, so you're not anxious to
send it :)
I'll poke at this from the code side and see if I can figure out what
causes it. I can mess with some UTF-8 or unicode characters too and
see what happens. . .
This last problem makes me nervous about storing my data with it.
FWIW, I use it for all my internet passwords and I haven't had a major
problem. And it's under active development :)
