Password manager

(1/5) > >>

Neil Waldhauer:
Password managers are a good thing. But now we need them to work on our computers, phones, tablets, watches, etc. Is there any solution for ArcaOS users?

Some password managers are open-source? Can any of them be (easily) ported?

In Java are some available which will work with Java 6;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/upm/files/upm-1.14/upm-1.14.tar.gz/download
https://github.com/gaborbata/jpass/releases/download/v0.1.14a/jpass-0.1.14-dist.zip
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mypasswords7/files/binary/2.95/MyPasswords_2_95.zip/download

These where available on my site which is offline. UPM is at version 1.15.1, does work in Java 11, don't know if that's also true for Java 6.

I didn't test others, but there are more. You need latest version of Java available for OS/2 and that's Java 6.
As I'm migrated to a RaspberryPi for the time being, most of the tested programs runs also in Java 11 which is not available for OS/2 yet, but its good to know that you can migrate your programs and data to a complete other platform and it will work there too without changing anything. Of course you setup file for running is somewhat different because "batch" commands do differ between platforms. But that's it.

I don't know anything about QT, but it seems not that portable as Java. As far as  I know you have to recompile a program for your platform with QT.
I have no knowledge of programs which are "native" for OS/2 because I wanted a true portable system because I do have more platforms.

Joop

We have keepassx as rpm too.

But if you want to synchronize with Seamonkey, KaiOS, Android, iOS or... I'm out of ideas. Except doing it by hand/cvs. I've done Seamonkey --> keepassx a while ago. I think I've copied my OS/2 SM Profile to Win and used some passwordexporter addon. Maybe I needed Keepass (without X) on Win too to transfer it to a keepassx compatible database.

Neil Waldhauer:
Keepass sounds like it would work. Where can I get it (just looked on NetLabs...)

All Keepass and keepassx and keepass* claim to be interoperable. Keepass touch is in the Apple App store.

"Yum install keepassx" should do it. As you say, there is a bunch of keepass* programs that have been forked.  On my phone I have keepass2android and it suggested keeping the database file on Google Drive to be accessible everywhere. The database is encrypted so doesn't matter if it is found by others.
