Password Manager - Development Notes
This page is archived.
Discussion
These are update notes on the password manager choices covered as of 2016:
Candidates:
- Bruce Schneier's passwordsafe is a good replacement. Its only available in Stretch and Sid.
Excluded options:
- KeePass 2 (keepass.info) use not recommended because of their hostile stance against user security. [1]
- fpm2 was removed from Debian because its upstream development is dead. [2]

Footnotes
Many thanks to Tails team for their discussion on the topic of password managers. [3]

KeePass 2's reaction to a MITM bug report against its Update Check:
8.2.2016 @ 15:45: Received response from Dominik Reichl: The vulnerability will not be fixed. The indirect costs of switching to HTTPS (like lost advertisement revenue) make it a inviable solution.
