>I recently had to coach a co-worker to do something more sane than store her passwords in a plain text file on her private Google Drive

Oh, so you showed her how to encrypt and decrypt plain text files with readily available tools? Because honestly that's the only thing wrong with her solution.

I'd really not recommend doing that - Google Drive has mangled so many files when edited in place over the years, I'm barely comfortable using it for anything except write-once-read-many things like PDF copies of things.
