This is probably what we used for the stellar wallet years ago. Is there any thing you would want different than that?

Stellar Wallet was a hosted wallet. It would be nice to have something that you could use offline without depending on anything else.

Stellar Desktop uses an AES encrypted text file when you download and run it...
I am not a huge fan of giant Mnemonic passphrases
from stellar-protocol.
Thats not very user friendly. It'd be nice to have a standard for either:
- Passphrase plus encrypted key file (like in myetherwallet)
- Mnemonic passphrase
I think these are two different things. The former is secure file storage of a secret key and the latter is a secret key derivation method.
For a secure storage, I'd vote for something like Ethereum's https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Web3-Secret-Storage-Definition. I agree it would be super useful for transferring accounts between different apps.

@bartekn Oh, the web3 looks interesting. In fact, thats what myetherewallet uses. Perhaps i'll just take that and port it to Stellar. Seems like I can just import their module
https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js But it seems like web3.js actually is a whole suite of things for the ethereum network
For mnemonic passphrases, they'd be good for pen+paper office cold wallet storage but I do agree it is cumbersome. I wouldn't exactly say that the mnemonic passphrase is for derivation since it will still be randomly generated; it's more like a base512. I just want to follow a defined standard since I'm sure many other there have spent hours working on it.

A simple way would be to use:
https://github.com/bitcoinjs/bip39
from stellar-protocol.
With a mnemonic phrase, you can also use a password. So storing it would be similar to the web3. The only difference is that with web3, you can pick a salt.
Trezor uses a 24 word mnemonic (https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-faq/threats.html#what-if-i-run-the-trezor-recovery-process-on-an-infected-computer) which gives over 256 bits of entropy and has protection against keyloggers if the user enters them in random order

Closing in favour of #63.
Let's open another issue for the encrypted file format discussion.
