SaturdayMP Show 86: Creating PostCast (Part 8 – Investigate Keyring Libraries)

In this episode Omar Ashour and myself (Chris C.) investigate several Golang keyring libraries and try to get the keyring to work on my Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Spoiler: it was working all along, I was just too dumb to notice. Learned about Seahorse, a handy tool for viewing keychain entries.

We also discuses what the Windows Registry. Spoiler: it is just a big dumping ground of key-value pairs.

*PostCast is just a place holder name and might change. The goofy PostCast placeholder image was generated by ChatGPT and will likely change.

Question: what are y'all using as secret service on #Linux? (With #Wayland and #sway, if that matters.)

I did not like #GNOME #Keyring, because that pulled in tons of stuff I didn't want.

I'm currently using #KeePassXC, but let's just say it's a much better password manager than a Secret Service. (e.g., it can't remember authorized binaries over a session, and handling multiple databases isn't great.)

Ideally, I want something that does only this, but does it well.

Having been a loyal #GPG user for years and having seen the recent gpg.fail vulnerabilities, i decided to finally do something about it: I wrote a #rustlang implementation of #OpenBSD signify with strict rules: no unsafe code, no arithmetic side effects, no proc macros. Builds on #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #Linux, and #Windows. My contribution is the #keyring feature which allows you to specify a key-id on #Linux rather than inputting the password manually: https://crates.io/crates/signify-rs #exherbo #security

$corporate recently moved us from #Linux to #Windows (#WSL). While I'm disappointed, I quickly set up #komorebi with a WSL-first approach, which actually works really well. However, I soon realized there was no keystore available.
`pass` is my go-to, but not everyone wants to deal with GPG setup, so I looked into alternatives for my team. Most people recommend gnome-keyring, but I’m not a fan of bloated solutions. The thing is, I already have a keystore just outside WSL: the Windows Credential Manager.

So here we are, let's welcome `keyring_wincred` and `winaskpass`! Both store secrets in wincred using a C# script via powershell from WSL 😱
