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.
  • https://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/passwordsafe
  • https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/09/security_of_pas.html

Excluded options:

• KeePass 2 (keepass.info) use not recommended because of their hostile stance against user security.

• fpm2 was removed from Debian because its upstream development is dead.
