I think he wants something portable...firefox has some good extensions for this.
I haven't heard of something exactly like that, but maybe you could try 1Password? I'm not sure if it's available for your platform though...

Really though... get a random series of passwords and break it up into manageable groups... the write down the groups over and over again... then repeat them over and over again in your head.... example: (using this site to generate the password)
K7trebap = K7 - tre - bap
Simple

I want to be able to use incredibly difficult, different passwords for every site. Hence I'm not going to remember 435_-!!CVrgreGGref@#$ no matter how many times I write it down, and surely cant remember ~100 different combinations for all the sites I have logins for. My idea for the USB drive was to plug it in when I sit down, type the master password in, let it autofill, unplug and walk away leaving no saved passwords on the computer. Been messing with lastpass for the last few min trying to figure out if I can configure it in such a way, but its not looking promising.It was for your protection; i swear.

Bump. I keep thinking about this project so I'm back to it. None of the suggestions so far have worked
What if it gets stolen? You'd lose pretty much everything then.

This is true. I realize the idea isn't perfect, but I want my passwords with me at all times. Right now I'm completely dependent on the browsers built in password manager, so when I'm at another computer I have to guess to figure out my login information.What if it gets stolen?

To your point though, I would also accept a bluetooth app which connected my phone with laptop whenever I was close and acted in the same was as described in the OP.

Sounds like you have a good idea for an app that should be developed!
