  That would be interesting... but also annoying, if you are working at
your home, alone.

  If there are key loggers involved, then you are toasted, even if the
passwords are kept inside your mind instead of a password database. At
the moment you type them, they would be captured. Of course, we might
say it is better to lose one password at a time, and not the whole
database, but... well, I guess it's a personal decision (unless you have
to follow some policy).

  Best Regards
