Re: [PLUG] password safe

Fair points but I was talking this from the standpoint of a Linux user not a solution that is for non-technical or even non-Linux people. LUKS really is for single use cases even though it can manage up to 8 passwords.

For secure group sharing of data I have another solution that adds in all the necessary management abilities.

LP is most useful for launching Web sites, otherwise you can copy/paste the password into an app.

LP Enterprise also allows binary attachments, so I include a LibraOffice Calc spreadsheet of my clients

DC configuration, that both of us can access, even if the DC is down. This also works with LibraOffice

across Windows / Ubuntu.

LP enterprise is most useful for sharing passwords and URL's amoung a team, I agree that

simpler solutions may work for a single user.

So for instance if you need to manage passwords that your clients also use, then this is much more

professional 'looking' system than trying to explain LUKS and other cryptic commands to normal folks. You

can also prevent them from turning down security options, or force them to use a Yubikey OTP device

at each login, and it works on Android phones/tablets.

Ok but at the end of the day we're still talking about text data only, no? In my digital vault, I've got other data objects. For me, I don't need or want passwords being filled in automatically, I would rather type them. Every is different in that regard :D

It's not just the password, Lastpass remembers the URL, folder and :Port of all my applications ( especailly vSphere managment
apps ) so you just search for the url string, click it, and the site launches and logs in. no more browser bookmarks
needed for your apps.

Maybe its me but I really don't get the need to use these things. Years ago, I created a small "digital safe"- its just a LUKS container. I keep anything I need to protect in it including security information. I can always move or copy it to another device as needed since it just a file.

So, my recommendation would be to use a LUKS container. I realize this is more spartan and a bit off topic than the other solutions mentioned but I have other needs in addition to remembering passwords so other people might as well.

I use Password Safe (https://pwsafe.org/), even though the Linux port is still unstable, the cross platform password-gorilla is file compatible with it and is available through apt on Debian/Mint/Ubuntu . The original author of Password Safe is Bruce Schneier. Since I'm mainly on Linux I guess I use Password Gorilla is really the answer.

Does anyone recommend a good password safe to use with Linux?
