Searching a password keeping application

I looking for a KISS application to keep my passwords.
I tried some, but each seem overcomplicated.

This is what I would like:
- storage in an single encrypted file so that I can keep it on dropbox with ease
- quick start
- easy way (possibly just after the program starts) to type a string to locate my password
- copy username/password in the clipboard or better yet outputing it simulating key presses once located

Thats about it... it would seems a program an interested person can make in few days... yet I got nothing like this.

Am I missing the obvious? Should I start making such a program? Do you know a program like that?
thanks

I like keepassx but I am also trying keepass 2. keepassx seems simpler. I have used it for several years. There is a package for it in the community repository.

You could probably do that with a symmetrically encrypted gpg file and grep. I might be wrong, but I think you can just pipe around the data to keep it off disk.

Look at keepassx

One of the best. Too bad it stoped developing.

If you go to the IRC channel for Keepassx on Freenode, the forum topic says, "Yes, it's still being developed."

Re: Searching a password keeping application

I just have a secrets.org.gpg file and Emacs handles everything.  I think Org even has a dedicated `password mode'
