Hey, this is Toujet again, calling in for another hacker public radio recording.
|
||
|
|
Although it's been going on lightly with Last Pass, I decided to go ahead and post my
|
||
|
|
solution for what I'm doing for a password management.
|
||
|
|
I'm currently using key pass, but I've got an interesting combination of components
|
||
|
|
working together to make it work.
|
||
|
|
First of all, I downloaded key pass from, it's actually in the repost for Fridoras, so
|
||
|
|
I was using it from there.
|
||
|
|
Took my passwords from Last Pass, exported them, imported them into key pass, and got that
|
||
|
|
working.
|
||
|
|
I wanted to be able to do more than just have a simple task manager on there.
|
||
|
|
I have multiple devices, both Android and Windows and Linux that I have to keep in sync.
|
||
|
|
I took the Last Pass database and I put it into a own cloud folder that's synced between
|
||
|
|
my devices.
|
||
|
|
Did run into a little quirk with that where I can't launch the desktop client on login because
|
||
|
|
I need to give time for own cloud to go ahead and sync.
|
||
|
|
I also need to exit the Last Pass before I close the machine, otherwise it will not sync
|
||
|
|
the database.
|
||
|
|
Along with having it sync to the different clients, I'm using a couple of add-ins for Firefox.
|
||
|
|
I'm using Passy Fox, which allows me to integrate similar to Last Pass with the way I'm working.
|
||
|
|
I did run into with Passy Fox that I had to re-enable saving passwords because Passy Fox
|
||
|
|
actually replaces Firefox's password manager with its own.
|
||
|
|
If you have saved passwords turned off, it won't ask you to save it.
|
||
|
|
For Chrome, I use Chrome iPass to sync between the different to do a similar functionality
|
||
|
|
in there.
|
||
|
|
I also wanted to be able to access it on my Android devices.
|
||
|
|
In Eftroid, there is a key pass for Android that you can download from Eftroid.
|
||
|
|
It allows you to automatically sync or access passwords on your mobile device.
|
||
|
|
I'm using the own cloud client on my device to also keep that password at sync on there,
|
||
|
|
so I've got the same password at all of them.
|
||
|
|
But I also often have to log in as a machine that does not have my tools installed, and
|
||
|
|
I don't want to go through installing or copying down the database or setting up a sync
|
||
|
|
or anything like that.
|
||
|
|
I wanted something real simple and straightforward.
|
||
|
|
I found an utility called Browser Pass.
|
||
|
|
It's a web page or a set of scripts that allow you to access your Last Pass database from
|
||
|
|
a browser.
|
||
|
|
Since I'm already running a home server with own cloud on it, adding another service on
|
||
|
|
there to support Browser Pass was easy enough.
|
||
|
|
Since it's on the same trouble, I can actually, or a server I can actually link from Browser
|
||
|
|
Pass over to the folder or file I have synced from own cloud.
|
||
|
|
It keeps everything all on a server that I can access any place.
|
||
|
|
I've got my server secured with SSL, so I feel relatively safe using that.
|
||
|
|
It's not quite as smooth an integration as everything with Last Pass, but it works great
|
||
|
|
for everything I need to do, and it's everything under my control.
|
||
|
|
Look forward to hearing comments from people on this.
|
||
|
|
Email me if you have any questions, and I'll have links for all the different applications
|
||
|
|
in the show notes.
|
||
|
|
Thanks.
