I just use GPG and Emacs:
- I have a text file encrypted with GPG that contains my list of passwords.
- I open it in Emacs like any normal file.
- GPG is integrated to Gnome so I get a nice askpass dialog even from inside Emacs.
- I've configured Gnome to store the decrypted key for a few hours (or until suspend) and ask me anytime the cached passphrase will be reused, to avoid typing my long passphrase everytime I need to look up a password.
- Emacs also knows how to encrypt the file transparently when I've made changes and just save the buffer in Emacs.
- My swap partition is encrypted via TrueCrypt and so is my /home.
