Password managers... (lemmy.today)

So I'm using bit warden self hosted and now I'm freaking out about the very real possibility of my passwords getting stolen or lost in a fire. Having passwords on my phone makes no sense.

We need some sort of distributed password manager safety net. Like I keep your passwords safe if you keep mine. But how can I trust you? Can you trust me?

But how can I trust you?

You can't.

Can you trust me?

No.

Use https://www.passwordstore.org/. Sync it to a trusted person's git server. Put the gpg key on a usb stick and give it to them. Write the password to the GPG key on a piece of paper and give it to your lawyer with instructions to give it to your trusted person in the event of your death.

This is interesting. Just recently two of my few YouTube personalities passed away. A co worker too. My co-worker definetly had no plan and his family was left high and dry. We had Robert Murray Smith who was broken when his wife passed and he used science to go follow her. His brother quickly left his followers a message. Finally a photographer who did darkroom demos and such also died. His channel says nothing about it. So YouTube is probably making money off dead people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mElL9M5GhG4 Bill Schwab
