Write Down Your Password

Re:Write Down Your Password by chronomex on Monday May 17, 2010 @08:31AM (#1354139)

My solution: random passwords for everything, in a file in my ~/. Each line contains:

  <site> <username> <password>

And ~/bin/psw:

  #!/bin/sh
  cat $HOME/passwords.gpg | gpg --decrypt | grep $1

Simple, done.

Simple and elegant, that really sells it for me. I user SuperGenPass which is great as long as you can run javascript when you need your password. The latest trouble I've been having is on my android device when logging into applications. It's enough to make me want to learn how to write an input method for android/supergenpass.

I do exactly the same thing!

What I haven't done yet is write a script to add/modify/delete items from the encrypted file. I keep meaning to.
