Submission + - Ask slashdot: Simple Password Manager

eggegick writes: I use vim to keep my passwords in an encrypted file. I find it simple
and easy to use. My wife is not a Linux geek like I am, and so she is
using keepass. It's relatively simple to install and use, but I seem
to recall it used to be even much simpler: I recall that it used to be
just an executable that you copied to your system and ran. You could
put it on a USB stick along with the database to insure you'd be able
to quickly access you passwords in an emergency on another system.

Now you have run an installer which creates a keepass directory under
"C:\Program Files\" which is full of .dll files and lots of other
stuff. Just another hassel.

Does anybody know of a really simple password manager or encrypting
notepad? I've looked at a number of them and they use Java or
Javascript, or they involve an external web site, or they have way too
many features, or they use an installation program, or windows
defender objects to them.
