August Abolins | All | self-managed passwords with gpg |

Just recently, I was steered to this site.. https://www.passwordstore.org/ And in there, I realized that a very simple self-managed password "vault" can be created with just using gpg from the command line. For example, if you wanted to store a password for Ebay.. gpp -o pw-for-ebay.gpg -e -r [myID] - ..and the system will open stdin for typing. when done, hit new-line, and ctrl-C [probably ^D in linux], and the file is created with the string stored inside. H:\temp>gpg -o pw-for-ebay.gpg -e -r august - File 'pw-for-ebay.gpg' exists. Overwrite? (y/N) y updated pw is ... blahblahblah111 ^C When you need to view the pw: H:\temp>gpg -d pw-for-ebay.gpg gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 583B29AD69D0999F, created 2020-01-02 "August Abolins <august@kolico.ca>" updated pw is ... blahblahblah111 So.. it's relatively simple to have a safe directory with all the pw*.gpg files like that. Combine that with rclone and a remote defined as "crypt", you can keep a copy of the directory in the cloud where you could access the contents from any other device that has rclone. --- OpenXP 5.0.64 * Origin: (618:400/23.10) |
