I'm considering using a password manager. I run a minimal archlinux-based system. I don't care about synchronizing with any other machines, just about making an encrypted backup of the password bank in a file I can put in an exterman HD and not worry about. Any suggestions?
Even more importantly, what to look for and what to avoid when evaluating alternatives? (My scepticism against software is what kept me away from this type of program for the last decade and a half...)
@naia I had the very same question recently and ended up very happy with https://keepassxc.org
Thanks @generationX ! I'll check it out
@naia I 2nd 'pass'
It's just a wrapper around gpg and git, but you don't need to git anything
That's neat, @angrylinus ! That's an interesting choice of software organization!
@naia I can recommend Password Safe, also known as pwsafe. An open source and easy to use cross-platform password manager for the desktop.
Thanks, @rafaelx ! I'll check this one out too
Thanks, @friedger !
Using cyptsetup is quite interesting. Also, I did not know of dyne.org, thank you for letting me know of this!
