I think this is something for a "Collaborations" post. Passwords is a particularly sensitive thing to randomly trust an online stranger with. I totally get it that temporary accounts is the way to go, but seems like a lot of hassle.
-
@CrankyOldDev my intention for this post was, that some devs could give me advice on some security related things and also things I should change.
-
I honestly wouldn't mind testing it if the server part is self-hostable.
And if it's not self-hostable, here's some advice: make it self-hostable. A cloud-only password manager is probably the scariest thing I can imagine. -
@franga2000 I understand your point. And setting the password manager up yourself would not be a big challenge. If you just change the mysql password in one file you are ready to go. But I am unsure if I should go open source for this project. I probably will but I am not sure.

Grumpy28878y@Scrumplex For anything handling passwords, your only choice is going open source, since the only people who would even dream of using a closed source password manager are complete and utter idiots.
-
@Scrumplex the only way to sell a closed-source security program is to have a reputable security firm audit it, which would cost you more than you could ever earn with it.
A good open-source self-hosted password manager is exactly what the people need. Maybe you can be the one to finally make it. -
@Grumpy @franga2000 I think you both are right. I will try to make the installation as user friendly as possible. But first of all sleep.
-
It is open source now. It does not have an installer but a config.php

Have fun and I would appreciate if you would contribute (bug reports or even with code) -
@Scrumplex Not saying I'm the best or anything but I'm in the security world myself so I could take a look at your code and give some advice/feedback if you'd like?
