I know a couple of folks who travel regularly who use this:

https://github.com/gardners/whirlenig

Their usage model is this: Unique Whirlenig disks are generated and
used for their passwords.  The passphrase used to generate the unique
Whirlenig disk is memorized.  They travel with a burner laptop with no
local password storage or sensitive information, just Git installed.
At the destination they check out the repo and re-generate their
Whirlenig disk, then print and assemble it locally.  The Whirlenig
assembly is securely destroyed (I presume by burning, I don't ask)
prior to departure.  I don't know what their on-storage cache
destruction protocols are like (my guess is RAMdisk, no swap on storage).
