+1 for `pass`. I wrote a handy Bash script [1] that lets me easily search my passwords without having an exact match (e.g., `fpass fin cap one` quickly finds my password info for "Financial/CapitalOne.gpg"). It makes pulling up passwords so much easier as I only need to remember fragments of how I stored it instead of trying to remember exact folders and names using auto-complete to find the password.

I also use iTerm2's system-wide hotkey [2] to quickly show/hide a dedicated terminal window that I use for retrieving passwords.

I've been using this setup for years now and I absolutely love it. The only downside is no access from my phone, but I always have my laptop with me and I memorize passwords that I frequently use.
