My original doesn't serve a purpose because I use GPG for encrypting my files and leave it up to that and don't normally use AES directly. My question was merely a curiosity so you can take it for what it is. Specifically, I said the password manager was keepassx for password generation. I realize that GPG and openssl are entirely different. Perhaps my question was too broad with too many variables to be properly answered by a single person and should have been broken up into different parts to appropriate audiences.
