My homegrown alternative to password managers like LastPass and 1Password: An encrypted zip file.
The zip contains
* encrypt.sh
* payload, a folder containing subfolders, password text files and other personal information.
To "unlock", extract the zip.
To "lock", run encrypt.sh.
Make sure that the extracted data won't get backed-up at any time. I just came up with this a few days ago. Let me know if you have any concerns about this.
Here's the encrypt.sh:

- clusterfoo 11y agoHow do I access this from my phone? Same with other open source solutions... the only way to open it on my phone is to trust an unknown app developer to open it for me. I trust GNU zip, but can I trust MiniKeePass? Can I trust iZip?
- Quiark 11y agoI would avoid using .zip file format encryption, who knows how safe that is. PGP as encryptor would probably be a better choice.
- sagawee 11y agoIt depends on what you use to create the .zip file. The zip command uses the insecure PKZIP algorithm. 7z supports AES-256 encryption.
