are you looking for something in the lines of this one?

It's still not offline storage, but at least the encryption is done with an offline device (disclosure: i haven't read the full information on how they encrypt/decrypt, so it's possible i'm missing the point here)

I'm not aware of any "hardware" password manager implementations that allow you to read your password from the device. And even if you use something like that, you are not protected when entering said password on a compromised computer.
Keepass is a good password manager to use. It also has good mobile versions that basically allow you to carry the passwords on your phone. You can store the encrypted database on dropbox so you always have access to it.
The advantage of a password manager is that it also uses obfuscation techniques to enter your password to websites, so you are partially safe if you happen to log in on an infected computer.
thanks looking good from what i've read so farKeepass is a good password manager to use. It also has good mobile versions that basically allow you to carry the passwords on your phone. You can store the encrypted database on dropbox so you always have access to it.

basically i see two way to store a password.
allays if you want something safe and hidden you use a password.
you can remember it or write it down somehow (paper or digital).
so there are the risks of forgetting it or losing/damaging it.
If you have written it down you have to worry that somebody finds it and so you want to safely hide it.
And here begins the circle again.
so at some point either your trust your brain or some open paper/textfile. so train your brain!

What do all of you use to protect your passwords, I've heard of password managers like lastpass but I'd rather a cold storage for my password. does any one know of any device that are small that just read text files to carry your passwords on?
or do you have any other suggestions for protecting your passwords?
