Except you'll have to repair your private key every time you want to
decrypt anything (unless I'm grossly mistaken). When something is
decrypted with your public key, you can only decrypt it with the private
key.
If you're only encrypting things for long term storage and infrequent
access, perhaps this won't be so challenging. But if so, then why not
simply store them on some media secured away in something like a safe? If
you will need frequent or even occasional access to the encrypted data, I
would think it far easier to learn and remember a password. Or better yet
a smartcard with a simple PIN--as has been suggested._______________________________________________
