Discussion on: What password manager should developers use ?

After years of development, I've noticed 2 things:

  1. Almost all password managers have features that you don't need.
  2. Almost all password managers don't give you the fast results that you need.

Sometimes I'm browsing, on a website, creating an account, and as a developer, I've gotten used to getting my tasks done quite fast. I was able to do all of those pretty fast, except for creating a complex password.

That's why I created a repo (which currently runs for Mac OS only due to one small command that could be tweaked). Running that script would generate and copy a complex password onto your clipboard, which is pretty seemless.

So I use a combination of that and MYKI Password Manager.
