Just chiming in to say a text file encrypted with vi storing passwords is a heck of a lot more common than you seem to think. I know at least one team who use this method and there is a reasonable chance you’re interacting with some of their infrastructure secured by this method right now.
It’s about as secure as anything (esp after the swap file issue was resolved).
- monsieurgaufre 3y agoI’m note sure what your definition of common is but i can say that this way of storing passwords isn’t.
- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoYes it is
- monsieurgaufre 3y agoYour position implies a lot of specific knowledge about technologies and how they work. It hardly fits with the definition of "common".
