Password Mangement | #! Book
Here we are specifically hilighting high level security/usability attributes of each, and specifically which have support for things like hardware token encryption/signing/2FA, and those that do not.
The password manager that checks the most security and compatibility boxes above is Password Store, so the instructions below will focus on that. If you don’t maintain highly sensitive credentials perhaps the tradeoffs of another tool will work better for you. Any password manager is better than trusting memory, a text file on your machine, or post-it-notes.
Pass will by no means suit all use cases, as there is no one-size-fits-all hero in password management tools right now. You are encouraged to do your own research.
It is worth noting that while Pass may check the most boxes, it may be one of the most difficult to set up initially and you will have to factor the technical capability of yourself or users you support into consideration.
With those disclaimers out of the way, the reason Password Store supports everything is that both the CLI tools and GUIs like Android Password Store and QTPass all share a very simple common understanding of how passwords should be encrypted, stored and interacted with under the hood.
