pass is enough (+ xdotool + rofi + pass-menu). Synchronization via git or Syncthing.
How does this play with mobile?
as another option this KeePassXC(PC)+radicale+DAVx5 The same for KeepassDX
Radicale+DavX5 is for calendars and contacts, no? How does this work for passwords
for passwords no way, as you noted it is for calendars and contacts
There's an Android app, but it's not being developed any more https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-Store
There's an iOS app as well https://mssun.github.io/passforios/
They have a list with all the clients and other tools on their website
https://www.passwordstore.org/#other
besides everything else, the end of support for syncthing-android, yes, that's a real blow to the gut.
Integration with Android
The GnuPG implementation for Android is called OpenKeychain. To configure it, just go to the "key management" menu and import the previously created secret key. The only drawback of OpenKeychain for me personally is that there is no fingerprint unlocking.
The pass implementation for Android is called android-password-store, or simply APS.
Install and launch APS. Before synchronizing the password store, go to the "Settings" menu. There we will need the following items:
Git server settings
. The resulting URL should be the same as that specified on the repository page on github. Authorization type -OpenKeychain
.Git utils
. In this section, specify the username and email from the gpg key.OpenPGP provider
. SelectOpenKeychain
.Autofill
.Now you can clone. Select "clone from server" on the main screen, specify the desired location of the repository, check the git settings.
Of course, pass is not that easy to set up. However, this price buys confidence that the tools we use will not one day be declared obsolete, will not change their data format, and will not be left without support.
I'm familiar with pass and familiar-ish with rofi. What do the other two do?
A small script for entering passwords into various windows via rofi, I take passwords from pass.
Example script:
In
awesome wm
I bound a key that calls it like this:I turn on the computer, press the key combination and the script works, or I run this script from the terminal (
~/Scripts/rofi_pass.sh
), select the password - it works (if necessary, pinentry is called to enter the main password), after that I press the key combination, select the desired entrypassmenu: extremely useful and wonderful dmenu script.
I was copying and pasteing from pass but that looks much cooler, thanks!
