PassswordSafe is great, I've used it for years.  It's not just for Windoze, there is a Linux version also, in addition to android and apple clones. On 9/12/24 4:17 PM, Kalpesh Patel wrote: PasswordSafe can support Yubikey's authenticators if you want a really good local password manager. It

I'll have to evaluate that option vs Bitwarden (cloud stored).  Just recently my tablet stopped talking to Bitwarden so I'd have to punch a hole in the firewall for external access to the NAS (I have other reasons to want to do off-site backup to the NAS). On 9/12/24 13:41, David Cousens wr

That is a really good solution! I'll need to look closer into how to keep the database concurrent across machines. I was just using a thumb drive. I then tried syncthing which worked really well. But syncthing can do Global discovery and uses relays to send files across the Internet using TLS encry

My keepass password is 32-characters long. It's just a phrase that helps me remember my wedding anniversary (:). Keepass also has a cellphone app, and one nice feature on it is, once you've unlocked the database, then on subsequent (frequent) visits to the app, it only requires the last-thre

Understood and agreed. That's why I chose keepass. I have the db on my linux server, and have a mapped connection to the server. Also, I run a cron job on the laptop to keep the laptop copy of the db up to date, in the event I cannot get to the server through ssh (or perhaps I don't have int

There is a concept known as "shocking nonsense". A good way to come up with a memberable, but hard to crack password would include something obscene, improbable, impossible, and/or nonsensical. Of course, mix in some special characters, etc. At Thu, 12 Sep 2024 14:32:51 -0400 Bruce Griffis wrote
