Structured info in the encrypted file #4

I think that the encrypted password file will beneficiate from being structured, at the moment we are only storing 3 arbitrary fields:

i would prefer if this fields where configurable and if I could add more on some special account answer to the mysterious question, digicode for a door, ...

I think this could easily be done if the encrypted files were structured. There are few file formats that are both human readable and easily parsed in Python:

Python has a parser included for both of them in stdlib.

I agree. Let's go with CSV.

json is also a good candidate because it has better utf8 support and is more js friendly this can be very useful in the usecase "use kip on wife's laptop".
