Wear a helmet and hip pads, but failing that split the password in half (as in literally the first half and the second half, don't try to get fancy with crypto) and give the halves to two people unlikely to collude. Your computer will no longer have 5th amendment protection, though.

GP specifically called out, "don't try to get fancy with crypto" and I'm inclined to agree with them for this use case.
