Encryptr is simple and easy to use. It stores your sensitive data like passwords, credit card data, PINs, or access codes, in the cloud. However, because it was built on the zero-knowledge Crypton framework, Encryptr ensures that only the user has the ability to access or read the confidential information. Not the app's developers, cloud storage provider, or any third party.
Encryptr only ever encrypts or decrypts your data locally on your device. No plain text is ever sent to the server, not even your passphrase. This is what zero-knowledge means.*
Autant le dire tout de suite, la réponse est non. Que ce soit pour un ordinateur, une tablette, un téléphone ou une boîte mail, personne n’est obligé de donner son mot de passe ou son code de déverrouillage à la police.
Mais il n’est pas forcément évident de comprendre pourquoi, ni de mesurer les conséquences d’un refus.
Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.
To free password data from the clutches of other (bloated) password managers, various users have come up with different password store organizations that work best for them. Some users have contributed scripts to help import passwords from other programs:
1password2pass.rb: imports 1Password txt or 1pif data
keepassx2pass.py: imports KeepassX XML data
keepass2pass.py: imports Keepass2 XML data
fpm2pass.pl: imports Figaro's Password Manager XML data
lastpass2pass.rb: imports Lastpass CSV data
kedpm2pass.py: imports Ked Password Manager data
revelation2pass.py: imports Revelation Password Manager data
gorilla2pass.rb: imports Password Gorilla data
pwsafe2pass.sh: imports PWSafe data
If you're a web developer, you've probably had to make a user account system. The most important aspect of a user account system is how user passwords are protected. User account databases are hacked frequently, so you absolutely must do something to protect your users' passwords if your website is ever breached. The best way to protect passwords is to employ salted password hashing. This page will explain why it's done the way it is.
Early last year, password security researcher Kevin Young was hitting a brick wall. Over the previous few weeks, he made steady progress decoding cryptographically protected password data leaked from the then-recent hack of intelligence firm Stratfor. But with about 60 percent of the more than 860,000 password hashes cracked, his attempts to decipher the remaining 40 percent were failing.
Previous research on password managers has focused on the cryptographic protections of the passwords themselves in particular environments such as mobile devices. This research instead focuses on browser specific integrations and mechanisms to remotely compromise credentials. Four of the most popular password managers were examined: LastPass, OneLastPass, 1Password, and MaskMe.
