I've used SRS systems for years now and for the last few years almost
exclusively mnemosyne. Someone once said on this list, I've forgotten
who (there's irony) that they used mnemosyne as a general scratchpad for
anything that needed remembering. As my circumstances have changed I've
found that mnemosyne has become as much a notepad as it is for focussed,
subject specific memorising. So nowadays I find I'm using it quite a lot
for slightly sensitive information, and more recently, for passwords and
lock combinations. Initially I would have a password question simply
present a ? as the answer, and I would know whether I was correct or
not. And if not, I would look up the password in an enrypted file where
I store them.
This was becoming a bit of a hassle though, so I have now started
storing my passwords in mnemosyne itself, and encrypting the database. I
have a shell wrapper script that calls gpg before and after running
mnemosyne, and stores default.db in a gpg encrypted format. I've
modified the config file so that mnemosyne takes no backups.
I'm quite happy with this setup and I only raise the subject as I'm
interested to know if there's anything I've missed (such as temp files
being created), and whether encrypting the encrypting the database is
something that might be a future feature.
