There is a utility called "pass" that is effectively a shell-script 
around gpg to make the task of managing the passwords a little easier:
https://www.passwordstore.org/

It uses git to keep track of password changes and you can use normal git 
push/pull to synchronize between multiple machines (if you so choose). 
It can either display your password in clear text or copy it to the 
clipboard for 45 seconds.

I just started playing around with it and I am considering switching to 
it from my homebrew setup (similar to what Dan describes above). Folks 
have a built a cross-platform GUI frontend (based on Qt), but I prefer 
the CLI approach.
