So many things, big and small have become enshittified and it can feel pretty overwhelming imagining doing anything about it.

So I decided to start disenshittifying (@pluralistic's term) stuff one small step at a time.

Starting with a QR code creator and a password generator. No ads, no tracking, no shit.

And I encourage anyone to join in, or make suggestions!

@johnallsopp @pluralistic no need to reinvent the wheel, though. For password management, Password Safe has been around for decades, and it's free open source. https://www.pwsafe.org/

Highly, highly recommended.

Password Safe

Password Safe allows you to safely and easily create a secured and encrypted user name/password list. With Password Safe all you have to do is create and remember a single Master Password of your choice in order to unlock and access your entire user name/password list.

@Hyperlynx @pluralistic mines just a simple generator, runs in the browser, doesn't save any etc etc…

@Hyperlynx

A quick search turns up a handful of free, open-source password managers for macOS. Before I start comparing them, any recommendations?

@patrickgillam well, I do use the Mac port of passwdsafe, though it's not as full-featured as the Windows original and Android port.

I'm primarily a Windows and Android user. I did start working at a place that uses macOS and went and got the macOS port of passwd safe, and paid for the YubiKey support (since I lock my safe files with password + YubiKey).

In my case, I keep the safe files on Dropbox, though Syncthing would be a pretty good option too.

I went with passwdsafe on macOS because that's what I was already using and wanted to be able to be able to open my passwords at work. There might be ones with better features on Mac, I don't know.
