A "better" way to do this would be to use key-escrow where a key only you have access to is needed to unlock the escrowed key.
If your personal escrow key is government mandated, and well-protected, that prevents the issue of you forgetting passwords (Estonia already has something like this). It also fully ensures that the government accessing escrowed keys requires you being informed.
I still don't support this plan, but it is the best thing I've seen.
