In 2017 I migrated from KeePass to Pass and now migrated back to KeePassXC. For almost 9 years I was a happy pass user. It still does a very good job and keeping password management simple. But setting up pass on a new device was always a bit difficult.

Store Passkeys in KeePassXC

The goal of Passkeys is to replace passwords.

The idea is that instead of remembering a password and entering it to access your account, you own a device that generates a password for you.

Remembering is replaced with Owning.

In this post, I’ll give an example of such a device and how you can create and store a Passkey securely.

I learned about this KeePass feature way too late. With KeePass you can store and load your SSH keys in a secure and encrypted way. No more worrying about your SSH private key being exposed or accessed on your local machine.

Migrate KeePass to Pass

I’m using KeePass for a few years now. It always has been the password manager of my choice. Currently I’m using KeePass on my Mac and Windows connected to the same database file. The KeePass database file is stored in a OneDrive folder, encrypted with a password and keyfile, which is stored in the Keybase filesystem. This setup gives me maximum security and portability. However, it makes it impossible to use KeePass on my mobile device. Also I miss the possibility to use KeePass in my browser or on the command line. I’ve looked for an alternative solution, which doesn’t compromise on security and gives me the same level of portability.

In this post I’ll show you how to enable a new file type in SharePoint.

The goal is simple, for the KeePass database file it should be possible to open them the same way as it works for office documents in SharePoint.

KeePass is a highly recommended Passwordsafe. Despite its supposed to be used mainly by private people it’s adaptable for business cases. In my company the KeePass password database is saved on a SharePoint folder and is encrypted with a password and a private key. The key has to be stored on the local machine.

It could be difficult to force employees to store their passwords in the KeePass database as many won’t get along with it. They’ll more likely store their password in third party tools. However storing a users password in another programm as KeePass f.e. microsoft remote desktop can be a security risk because the password is only encrypted in the user context.
