#263289 — Password managers

Folks:

I have a bash/GPG based password manager I wrote years ago, but I'd
like to use something more "accepted/popular". The problem I have with
the other password managers I've looked at is that you can store a very
limited amount of information for each "account". For example, for
one of my logins, I may have to store the answers to three security
questions, an account login, email address, the actual password, and
maybe the mobile phone number associated with the login. I also object
to my password information being stored online by some password manager
vendor.

Does anyone know of a password manager which will store a variety of
user-defined information for each login, and not store that information
on the internet (and which is free as in beer)?

You may like pass[1].  It's a bash script which uses gpg, so
it's somewhat familiar to what you've written in a sense.

It supports random data via the --multiline (-m) option.

It's locally hosted (though you can use online syncing tools
if you want).  There are a a good number of alternative
clients for it as well, to suit various use cases or
environments.

Excellent suggestion!

I can't get it to work properly, because there must be something
fundamentally missing in my understanding of GPG, etc.

To initiate the store, you use the following command:

pass init <gpg-id>

If I feed this my master password for the "gpg-id", the .gpg-id file in
the password store shows my master password in the clear. This can't be
right. None of the docs explain what a "gpg-id" actually is.

I found some docs on Redhat's site where you could generate a gpg file:

gpg --full-generate-key

This asks a bunch of questions, and asks me for my master password. It
generates a file: ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx, and add a couple of hex strings
in ~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d. Seems like I should be using one of
those strings as my private key for gpg-id, but which one?

I'm really not sure what to give the init command for a gpg-id. Any
help would be much appreciated.

Sorry for the confusion. I figured it out. The gpg-id is the ID I used
when I set up the gpg key mentioned above. I was able to set up pass
and add password entries.

KeepassXC if you want a primarily GUI solution which also happens to
be open source. (There's also a command-line version keepassxc-cli
which can either be driven from the command line or used interactively
in a terminal session.)

pass if you want something which mimics your homegrown solution.

Any decent password manager should have a free-form notes field and I
can confirm that KeepassXC 2.7.4 (which is the version currently
packaged in Bookworm) searches in the notes field when I type into the
search field in the GUI.

Having system booted from Debian Live image (assume some disaster), how 
many packaged have to be installed to get access to passwords stored by 
KeePassXC?

I don't know about Debian Live images, but from an up-to-date install
of my _very_ minimal VM setup (Bookworm with only the standard and
ssh-server tasks installed), "apt-get install keepassxc" pulls in 142
packages totalling about 91 MB of downloads.

Many of those packages are fairly obviously generally GUI-related and
not directly related to KeepassXC specifically, so on a live image,
which already has a GUI, it would be much less.

I always was peering at kpcli.

Do you have any experience switching between the CLI (kpcli) and the GUI (keepassxc) version frequently?

Is this flawless possible to switch from the one to the other and back, or is it something which can't easily to be done?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

That was a bad idea : lokking closer I see that kpcli does not support 
the latest keepass file format (v4)

Trying "apt search" I have noticed some python tool "secrets" having 
python3-pykeepass in its dependency. Does anybody use it (or at least 
have tried it)? My specific interest is recovery scenario when usually 
used (and tuned) system is not available, so minimal dependencies matter 
when a Live image is booted.

It seems KeePassXC implements secret.service D-Bus API. Can 
gnome-keyring/kwallet/KeePassXC be used instead of "native" application 
for particular desktop or actually there are various lock-ins (e.g. 
anything other than gnome-keyring is call to trouble in Gnome)?

As always, it depends on what you already have. Much of that enormous
list may already be there.

From a fairly large sid installation:

Install: libtspi1:amd64 (0.3.15-0.3, automatic), libzxcvbn0:amd64
(2.5+dfsg-1, automatic), keepassxc:amd64 (2.7.4+dfsg.1-2),
libbotan-2-19:amd64 (2.19.3+dfsg-1, automatic)

An alternative strategy is to keep the database backed up on a USB
device or uSD card etc. I do that anyway for laptop use, not
storing the database on the laptop itself. You could also install
PortableApps (and KeepassXC Portable) on the card, and have the
passwords available on any Windows machine without leaving anything
behind on that machine. Whatever you do, it's always a good idea to
copy the database to somewhere fairly safe whenever you update it.

Or there are other rescue-type distributions which have keepasxc, such
as Parted Magic. Knoppix has keepassx, but I'm not sure about file
compatibility with that fork.

In KeePass-based projects like KeePassXC you can store the usual title,
username, password, URL and notes in the main screen/tab.

In the advanced tab you can store further key/value pairs. This works well
for storing random strings for security questions and answers.

The responses can been starred out like password entries are. There isn't
a keyboard shortcut to copy them, but there is a menu drop down, so you
can get the values without having to open the entry.

There's also an option to add attachments.

I say KeePass-based because KeePass was the original project. KeePassX was
a port of the windows KeePass project to Linux and other platforms.
KeePassXC is a more active, community developed fork of KeePassX. I've
been using the latter two for many, many years.

Thanks to the developers and packagers for the projects!

All 3 are using KeePass file formats. There are other packages that
understand the formats. F-Droid has several if you're wanting some of your
passwords on your phone. Because it's a common format you have some choice
into which tool you want to use. There are also some command line options.

The biggest lack I've seen for host-your-own is that there isn't a secure
way to do partial sync between password files. For instance, I don't need
all my passwords on my phone, so would like to have phone.kdbx with just
the few I need, but be able to sync with my everything.kdbx file if
changes are made in one or the other.

Am 09. Nov, 2023 schwätzte der.hans so:

moin moin,

below I said KeePassXC doesn't have a way of syncing passwords with
another password database file. Tonight I was looking at KeePassXC SSH
integration documentation and I see there is a sharing option, KeeShare.

"KeeShare allows you to share a subset of your credentials with others and
vice versa."

In my example of my phone the others are myself and I :).

https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_UserGuide#_database_sharing_with_keeshare

I will experiment and see if I can get sharing to work the way I want it
to.

Pass works well, too. http://www.passwordstore.org/.
Uses gpg encryption.

pointing out this program.

I spoke to soon Password Safe is now available for Linux.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordsafe/files/Linux/1.18.0/ I used to
run Password Safe in Wine. It is so good to see that it has been ported to
linux.
