Topics

• Password storage - Scott has a little discussion on the topic.
  • Recently, we discussed authentication systems. We also have a similar issue with the necessity of managing more passwords than humans should have to handle.
    • Self hosted password management is a thing.
    • Using someone else's service is an option, however we have seen multiple problems with that in recent history.
    • Zero knowledge cloud services are available. Do we trust them?
    • I like the idea of hosting my own vault and there are a few options that come to mind.
    • I saw a short video on one such tool and I thought it was interesting. I'd like to bring that one up as an example and maybe discuss the possible flaws in it.
