Just to clarify, I was never a developer of Passbolt. I think they based their repository off of CakePHP (which I do maintain) and inherited all the commit history that way.

Thank for the clarification. Sorry for the misunderstanding this caused.

I'm guessing GitHub's contribution insights sort of gave you this impression.

What I'm working on are developer insights and I've found the most intuitive way to look at contributions is to sort them by latest commits.

With this type of display, you can quickly see who is contributing on an active basis, and for how long. A good example would be the vscode repository.

Here you can see a lot of developers have been contributing on a steady basis for quite some time.

imho, https://www.deadmansswitch.net/ is a better option than paper in a safe. your house could burn down or someone might not be able to open your safe (easily). pgp encrypt a message that gets sent to someone with instructions for how to access your things if you don't check in.

I hear you; I've got three copies, two physically distant safes, and a deposit-box -- it's a habit I got doing SysOps for a bank back in the day.

That sounds really complicated and makes me wonder...

How do you rotate passwords?

How do you store all the keys to the safe?

How do you give 3rd party access to the deposit box?

Indeed GitHub's contributors graphs gave me the impression that https://github.com/markstory worked on passbolt. Isn't that is what they are supposed to?

Wish you all the best with your enhanced developer insights.

Or https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass if you want something passwordstore compatible but with additional team features.

I would probably use gopass if it would not enforce the usage of Git.

Depending on your use case it does not enforce git. What would you prefer?

Choosing the VCS myself. Even SCCS would work for one text file.

If you want secure files and notes too then have you ever tried out Psono? The free version supports those and solves most of the Cons (e.g. Psono has no offical helm yet either). (Full disclosure, I am the main developer behind Psono)

Thanks for mentioning. Wasn’t aware of it, see it on https://alternativeto.net/software/passbolt/?platform=self-h... . Wish you all the best. Having a migration tool, would make considering a migration much easier ;-). No immediate plans to migrate BTW.

No problem. If you ever plan to move to Psono, then feel free to provide me a dummy export and Ill create you the necessary import functionality.

I use gopass myself and got it working on my windows laptop Including WSL and still use it. I even tried to adopt within the team and then its flaws were in full view. Hard to setup correctly on machines, hard to share passwords in team. Reencrypting passwords worked sometimes but not always for all team. I gave up trying to get team to use it.

Sad to hear that. This is likely due to the additional complexity of GPG I guess?

You can use it without any VCS.

I had read that it was a dependency, so I was wondering...

I’ll try it next weekend then!
