A workable idea, definately. Another simple option, if you're just looking for
the "keep prying eyes who might steal my laptop/gain my password" people out is

Not as secure,especially if your phone is stolen, but if you delete the
message, it should protect you from 99% of the cases where you will need
encryption.
