I have a question: why openssl?  Why not use GnuPG or something more
appropriate to the task?

I have a file encrypted with GPG that stores many of my passwords,
including those too sensitive to trust LastPass with (think my Gmail
and Facebook account passwords here).  I use LastPass for everything
else.
