    Hey I used to use this!

    There’s a whole technical critique out there on why this might not be the best password manager choice, but for me it boiled down to losing track of my entries after a while because I was too stubborn/paranoid to name the password files descriptively (the passwords are encrypted but the names are plaintext) and because I sometimes forgot to record what account corresponded to what password. You can put multiline entries into the password field but I ultimately decided on another password manager with more metadata handling and search tooling.

    Simply knowing the existence of a person having an account on a site is in itself a security leak and a route to spearphishing attacks. Plaintext filenames is no bueno for me thx.
