There are a number of devices that have that type of capability.  I haven't
yet seen one with an LCD touch screen, but one example is available at
ThinkGeek.com here: http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/7573/  I've
seen several others over the years, and some Google Fu should net you
results.

Subject: Are there any pocketable Hardware Password Vaults

I'm wondering if anyone out there knows if there is a product that 
serves as a pocketable password vault?  I'm thinking something like a 
PCMCIA card that has an LCD (touch)screen that can securely store all of 
my passwords and maybe interfaces through a PCMCIA port to allow for 
password management.  I've seen a number of my co-workers store their 
passwords on encrypted ASCII files on their PDAs, but that seems a bit 
clunky to me.  The USB options are closer to what I'm looking for, but 
if I need my ATM pin number or some offline password, I would need a PC 
to look up the info.  Again, clunky.  Writing the passwords down on a 
piece of paper and carrying them around is a little too insecure for me.

Thanks in advance.
