Re: [Wlug] Cross platform password management
I use password store (http://www.passwordstore.org/). It's the only true Unix solution. It's written in bash, stores passwords in a gpg encrypted text file, and sync is done with git. It's in most repos and homebrew. It includes niceties such as password generation and versioning is nice too (I used my old password for Facebook on Reddit, but forgot to write it down, but now I've changed my Facebook password becomes a simple git log/checkout). If anything ever happens, everything is stored in a format you can easily grok. I have a private repo on my home NAS that I can get to from anywhere. I have a chroot on android; all of those utilities exist natively on Win/Mac/Linux. Because I trust gpg enough, I could even use a free private repo on bitbucket. Just transfer your password encryption subkey around safely. There are various clients/guis out there including supposedly iOS and Firefox. It wouldn't be hard to write one for Android given all the pieces exist separately in open source forms. On Nov 16, 2014 4:58 AM, "Frank Sweetser" <fs@wpi.edu> wrote:
Nice! The last time I looked, there were some issues with just dumping the database file on Google drive, so it sounds like they've made some progress since then. I'll check it out.

Frank, You just save your .kdb (or is it .kdbx?) file on Google Drive. It's just a file that you open and save from KeePass, so KeePass doesn't have to support Google Drive per se.
I used KeePass for a while, but I prefer LastPass. You said you didn't want an app-specific cloud solution, so I guess that rules out LastPass, but it's what I like. I also pay something like $12/year to LastPass, but it's worth it.

Any suggestion for any of the android app variants/clones to try? The couple that I looked at only claim Dropbox support, not google drive.

KeePass is awesome... ;-)

Hey all,
I'm looking to overhaul my password management, so I'm looking for suggestions on what apps people are using. My ideal system would have at least these features:
- cross platform on windows, Linux, and android - synchronize via 3rd party cloud storage, preferably google drive - *not* via an app specific service - good Firefox plugin
Any suggestions on what to try, or to avoid, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all! -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
