I use Vim as a password safe

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on March 21, 2007 01:57 PM
See Vim script 1833 for des3.vim:

        <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1833" title="vim.org">http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1<nobr>8<wbr></nobr> 33</a vim.org>

As long as you have openssl on your system
this allows editing of des3 encrypted files.
This also add some specific password safe features
to make browsing of password files easier.

Vim has built-in encryption if you somehow don't
have openssl installed; however, the built-in
encryption is not as strong as des3.
