The following is the collected chat messages from the meeting where we discussed password management. It is pretty context free and there was no formal presentation to provide any of the reason for the comments. It is posted mostly to collect the links and some commentary on what we talked about.

kelly says: Environment Canada says 118 mm of rain was recorded at the Ottawa Airport on Wednesday, setting a record for the greatest rainfall on July 1 in Ottawa history. The previous rainfall record for July 1 in Ottawa was 58.9 mm, set in 1959.
The total comes second for all-time rainfall in Ottawa history, behind Sept. 9, 2004’s record of 135.4 mm, which was caused by remnants of Hurricane Frances.

Paul says: No clouds!

Scott says: i'm not going to recommend anything
19:28
Scott says: I'm not qualified 😃

Scott says: we have mentioned:
and remotely accessibly locations
19:34
Tim says: ~local. I use it on NFS locally. Every now and then I push it to my NextCloud and a couple of other places so I can always retrieve.
19:35

Tim says: What about estate planning and password management?
19:52
rgb says: @tim: that's why I'm here.

Paul says: I sent the key to my executor via signal messemger
19:53
Paul says: Foss: https://pwsafe.org/
19:54
James says: Question about 'estate planning', do you mean alternate people having access in case of unexpected disaster? That is why I use Roboform. If I become incapacitated, a specific person can request access, with a delay in case it is not warranted.
19:55
rgb says: the delay thing is an interesting addition. there are x of y key schemes out there where no one person has the whole key.

Katie says: IPTC?
19:55
Tim says: Yes. Incapacitation == death. I'm wondering about something like multi-sig like bitcoin (or is it Eth?) Prefer something that requires multiple trusted parties.
19:57
Paul says: Send pieces of a passphrase
19:57
James says: multiple people with different parts of your master key?
19:58
