Genuinely curious, where do you store your passwords and sensitive info like SSH keys?
I hear a lot of "cloud password managers are bad!" but I rarely see someone follow up with a better approach. Even better to them.
I've been using a password manager for years and I've always thought I was making a good decision but then I see all these comments and I wonder if I'm missing something.
- karmajunkie 5y agoYou're not missing anything—some people just like to grumble. I've never seen anyone come up with a reasonable alternative that isn't "rely on your own faulty memory."
- MrYellowP 5y agoOkay, so you're an asshole. Let's set this straight. I don't store my passwords anywhere. I don't need to remember my passwords, they're the results of functions based on logical deduction and observation within the context of the "thing" I need the password for. And my passwords are all, without exception, beyond 10 characters.
- AndyMcConachie 5y agoI use KeyPassXC for almost all of my secret storage needs.
- howinteresting 5y agoDo you have family or friends with whom you share passwords? 1pass excels in that situation.
- karmajunkie 5y agoThat's still a password manager. GP was asking what alternatives to the entire class of applications exist that provide equivalent security for unique passwords and keys
