OK, I don't use a password manager, but I'm starting to feel the need for one. If I died or had a head injury, my wife would just be hosed trying to access everything. I would probably be in the same boat if something happened to her. It would be nice to have a working solution for me, her, and my aging parents as well. They rely on their phones to do so much of everything and I'm not sure I can break them of it. Any ideas are welcome, but I keep leaning toward just writing them in a notebook.
So I have been using pass, the standard Unix password manager, together with PassFF and it is a working solution so far. I like that it is a simple program, and that it was easy to setup, but I wish it was even easier for normies. Qtpass works well for my wife because it has an easy password/username/url template.
@daniel@campduffel.social i'm using keepassxc with yubikey, both together they are amazing. and , if your wife has a copy of the yubi, she could enter as well.
@uriel I'm still learning about security solutions for regular people and yubikey is pretty interesting. I think I will give it a shot.
@daniel@campduffel.social sure, but remember to buy 2, in order to keep a copy of credentials. 😇
@daniel I resisted password managers for years but the ability to share passwords with family when necessary finally got me. There's certainly nothing wrong with a notebook as long as you both have access to it, and no one else does.
@daniel i have a physical note book...hardly the most secure, but it can't crash or be deleted accidentally
Something like a monthly deadman switch would be a nice feature. If a timer isn't reset, send out info to the right people.
