Re: [LUG] Password Manager

 

OK, a little late to the thread...

I swear by KeePass (version2) - it's cross platform (my work's laptop is Windows) - 
and there are ports to Android as well as lesser OS, such as iOS ;)

It has plugins to generate passphrases like "correct horse battery staple" [1] and 
can do auto-type for websites, with customisation for specific sites which aren't 
the "normal" <username><tab><password><enter> combination

The auto-type works on whatever window was last to have in focus, so I also use it 
for other apps, such as VNC, etc

The databases can also be protected by using keyfiles, therefore providing 
two-factor authentication (i.e. you need a password, and perhaps a USB memory stick 
with your photo on...)

Cheers,

Steve

Hi

Happy new year to you all.

I think we had a thread recently re password management. I have tried a few, the 
latest being LastPass. None of them work well and browsers crash etc. Has anybody 
got a good suggestion please? Thanks.

Kind regards
