Both on        WvV> Linux and Windows.              I may have heard about it in the past. Looks good.                      AA>> gpg -o pw-for-ebay.gpg -e -r [myID] -              [...]               AA>> When you need to view the pw:               WvV> H:\temp>> gpg -d pw-for-ebay.gpg                      WvV> Interesting, and maybe for emergency use, when a real password manager        WvV> isn't available, but otherwise I don't find it very practical...              Practical is exactly what it is! It doesn't rely on any other 3rd party        software. And compatibility across OS changes is ensured.              And.. a terminal is available to anyone, cmd-line or GUI.              Just keep all the .gpg files in a easy to remember folder:              C:\PW              .. and list all of them with DIR (or ls) *.gpg              Simple.              Build it into a script for a faster list from any diretory:               mypws, to produce the output of "dir c:\pw\*.gpg"                     I dunno.. I think the use of gpg manually keeps us sharp. "User-friendly" as        an excuse to use GUI kinda makes us lazy and dumb.              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.64        * Origin: What do you call an excavated pyramid?
