Keepassing your credentials synced and under control

SeaGL 2017

Do you use the same few passwords over and over? Is there a piece of paper with hard-to-remember ones somewhere? How about a file that lives on five different devices and is never up-to-date?

Even the most secure passwords can be broken with a $5 wrench. Long forgotten websites are frequently compromised. Files can be stored in The Cloud, but is that really where such sensitive data should be?

By the end of this presentation, you will be able to combine keepassx and git-annex to maintain and synchronize all of your secure credentials.
