[UFO Chicago] Password manager

I used to use pwsafe, but it was recently removed from Debian and Ubuntu for
lack of maintenance.  I used Password Gorilla for some time after that because
it used the very same database format and I didn't have to do any export/import
dance.  I recently started using an Android phone as well, and switched to
KeePass since it is available for Debian, Ubuntu and Android.  So far so good.

The only real complaint I have about Password Gorilla and KeePass is the piss
poor keyboard navigation.  Super basic actions require reaching for the
point-and-grunt thingy when a keystroke *could* do.  pwsafe didn't have this
problem because it was a command line tool, but its mechanism for organizing
logins was pretty weak.
