I think a table; something like this would be prudent. I only know about FPM2 as that is what I use, would be interesting in seeing a summary of alternatives.
About syncing, I use Mega.nz, because
client side encryption, but some inbuilt syncing system would be
better, ideally peer to peer, so it never leaves my devices.

Given the way we do things in Debian it is important not to depend on a service like Dropbox to sync the password files. Therefore, how are people choosing a password manager and solving this in practice? - which password managers have a built-in mechanism for synchronizing or merging password lists on multiple devices? - who is using some other mechanism such as Git or ownCloud to sync? I've made a list of some of the password managers in Debian: https://packages.qa.debian.org/a/assword.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/password-gorilla.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/password-store.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/r/revelation.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/k/keepass2.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/k/keepassx.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kedpm.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fpm2.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cpm.html https://packages.qa.debian.org/p/passwordsafe.html There are quite a few and so it is hard for somebody to know the best place to start, maybe a comparison table in the wiki will be needed.Wiki now created: https://wiki.debian.org/PasswordManagementSome other factors that come to mind for a comparison table: - support for PGP - support for other strong crypto (e.g. smartcard) - merging algorithm for multiple devices - multi-user / team capabilities - browser integration I notice that Tails chose to include KeePassX, although there is some uncertainty how it was selected: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/9231 Can anybody comment on its history there?What about the wallet? In KDE4 and former KDE3 now Trinity Desktop we use the kwallet now tdewallet to store the passwords. I know gnome has also one, but I don't know it's name. I think each desktop has or should have a kind of integrated password manager. It is worth mentioning this. https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_Wallet_Manager https://utils.kde.org/projects/kwalletmanager/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KWallet regards |
