for one user, one machine. nothing fancy. just something that I can store passwords in. I’ve heard freakout problems about a lot of different ones.
EDIT : I’m on debian. 13.
Password Safe and Manager is what i use on my phone for years now. i trust it because it only stores data on your device. not sure if it runs on linux
keepass xc
why this and not keepass2?
I prefer keypass xc for it’s updated UI and better Linux compatibility. I agree with what this video author says too…
Keepass is fine I guess. If you don’t ñeed or want access anywhere else, can’t imagine why you’d need Bitwarden or ProtonPass.
Keepass plus the file sync/cloud of your choice means you can access everywhere, it doesn’t limit you.
easy to start working with, thank you.
I’ve used pass for a few years now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pass
cli runs in terminal, you can run ‘pass - c’ to copy a password to your clipboard, and it has extensions for most things.
(Optional: You can also extend it to multiple machines/phones later by using an encrypted git repository)
I use Vaultwarden, but I need my stuff synced between my computer and phone, so it might be a bit much for your use case.
i use syncthing for syncing my keepass files
Since Bitwarden is preparing to sell out I moved to AliasVault, they also have a nice email alias service that is a godsend.
I use :X in vim with blowfish.
I do know about :x to save and exit, is :X really to encrypt?
How does this work?
And how to you sync through devices and use it on e.g. a smartphone?
Or was this a joke that flew over my head?
Edit: for everybody else who didn’t ever use that feature (and I’ve used vim as an IDE for some years), here you go

Your brain with a reasonably complex password-building recipe. It’s secure and you’ll never lose your passwords until you reach dementia age.
Wanna bet that if a couple of your passwords get leaked, anyone targeting you can easily figure out the rest?
except these are random ass passwords from someone else to their systems, so I need a password manager
Fair enough.
