Safe alternative to SQLyog?

I installed SQLyog Ultimate to work with MySQL. Everything suits him except for one thing. The account manager for accessing various databases is not encrypted with a single master password, which drastically reduces security. Any Trojan that gets into the local storage of SQLyog-a, knowing the encryption method (and it seems to be standard) will pull all access from it, which will lead to very bad consequences.
What are the analogues of this software product with encryption of all access parameters with one master password?

I highly doubt there are trojans specifically targeting SQLyog. Well, as part of normal geek paranoia :) you can put yoga in a virtual machine. And do not run Trojans there :)
I have not seen a single MySQL client that, when remembering a password, would allow you to additionally protect it with a master password.

Hmm, well, the standard mysql workbench stores passwords in encrypted form. (uses windows account for encryption, not just a master password)

Alternatively, SQLyog works fine from under wine on linux systems :) And as you know, linux is not very susceptible to trojans.
