That is what I used to do. (Well, I just had a text file that was
encrypted with gpg). Then I switched to pwsafe, a command-line tool with
a sucky Tcl/tk GUI called Password Gorilla.

Finally, I moved to 1password. And I love it. It uses the keychain, and
this keychain data can be sync'd between Macs using .mac (which wasn't
always that reliable for me for keychain syncing, or 1password's own
system still in testing.)

Because there are plug-ins for many browsers, I am not locked into any
particular browser. Also it makes getting and storing passwords from
browsers so easy, I really can have a different and strong password for
each site.
