Same but without all the ads and blogspam wording: https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/shadow/gpasswd.1.en

And without the simple wording and practical explanations

Peak Linux right here. The only reading you ever need is man pages.

Isn't it proprietary?

Kind of, most of it is actually open source, so there's a fully open source self hosted alternative called Vaultwarden.

But that has nothing to do with gpasswd.

Even the server part for Bitwarden is open source and you can self-host it. Yes, Vaultwarden is a community alternative which is known to be lighter, but you have the choice from Bitwarden too.

To me storing passwords anywhere except for a machine I own is stupid in terms of security. But gtk it's open-source. I didn't know that.

How do you feel about encryption?

GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It depends on what kind of encryption it is but still giving someone your passwords isn't a good idea. They can always decrypt everything. Forward secrecy is almost never guaranteed.

No, it's open source.
