I wanted to use Passphrase to store a secret file (a configuration file containing secrets) such that only I could access it. It seems that Passphrase can only store SSH keys or username/password combinations. Instead, I created a Paste and set the view/edit policy to be my user only. Is this safe? Is there any benefit to using passphrase for this purpose?

I plan to add a "note" or "text" type to Passphrase to handle this, but there isn't a good approach now.
Using Paste will work fine, but it would be nicer to have everything in one place, offer client-side encryption eventually, etc.

Implement a new subclass of PassphraseCredentialType which works like PassphraseCredentialTypePassword but stores a large block of text (like a configuration file, or a secret will, or the eldritch words of command which must not fall on mortal ears). This could be called "Note" or "Block" or "Blob" or something similar.
