Day 25: The 1 Software Tool/App I Can’t Live Without As a Developer
Fabian @ederbit

There are two types of People in this World.

People that use a Password Manager, and People that don't.
Seriously, use a goddman Password Manager.

How do people survive without one?

It's not just for passwords, you can store any information you don't want to forget in a secure and effortless way.

I can generate Passwords on the fly. I don't even look at them.
The only thing I do need, is one secure Master Password.
I unlock it once, and start working.

My Hassle Free Password Manager: KeepassXC

There are many Keepass Variantes. I tested each one. This is the best.

  • It's offline. An encrypted database file I can see, not stored in the Cloud.

  • It has a great Android App, which supports Fingerprint unlocking.

  • It offers Smart Auto-Typing your Credentials. Anywhere.

  • It offers a Modal to select which entry to Auto-Type

  • You can Customize the Input-Sequence per Entry

  • (I even use it for some Keyboard Automations.)

  • It offers versatile way to generate Passwords

  • You can use it as an SSH Key Agent

If creating an Account anywhere seems like a process to it's own.
Do yourself a favour and get a Password Manager.
