Also, executing such a command on a password while

Seriously, where the hell are you sitting writing down passwords where
people walk by you and drop down over your shoulder to sneak a peek?

A couple of suggestions:

1.  Don't write down passwords in a file unencrypted (because what
you're suggesting is that encryption would only be necessary during
display, i.e, when the file is loaded)
2.  Don't write down passwords at all - use phrases that you remember instead
3.  Don't write down passwords where other people might walk by and
see what you're typing
