docker-credential-helpers VS Android-Password-Store

Docker supports a credential-helper module[0], which supports 4 different backends for fetching the docker registry credentials: osxkeychain, pass, wincred, and secretservice.

pass lets you use GPG-smartcards, and many of those (such as Yubikeys) will let you enforce touch-policies for signing/encruption.

As a combination of both these however, I must touch my Yubikey every time I pull a new docker image.

Another cool use-case is that I use the terraform-pass-provider to save secrets for my personal terraform project.

# Finds the latest version $ wincred_version=$(curl -fsSL -o /dev/null -w "%{url_effective}" https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases/latest) # Downloads and extracts the .exe $ sudo curl -fL \ "https://github.com/docker/docker-credential-helpers/releases/download/${wincred_version}/docker-credential-wincred-${wincred_version}-$(dpkg --print-architecture).zip" | zcat | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-wincred.exe >/dev/null # Assigns execution permission to it $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-credential-wincred.exe

There is no "database", it's just a bunch of GPG encrypted files synced with git.

For Android there is https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S....

For Windows the only thing (Pass4Win) i found is unmaintained.

See https://www.passwordstore.org/#other

These are the types of applications that I really love. It stores the data in a cloud service that already has enough free capacity for say a notes app. It's like how we can store pass(1) passwords on a git repository (Sync it with Github) and use that as the destination of Android Password Store[1], and you have a easy password manager.

Password manager -Android-password-store (client for pass)

Since I store most of my passwords using https://www.passwordstore.org/, I have used mobile with https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S.... I'm happy enough with it. Sucks for getting anything into consoles, for obvious reasons.

I use Password Store.

That's the exact setup I use on my main phone. There's also https://github.com/android-password-store/Android-Password-S..., which I use on throwaway phones.

The pass command makes this significantly easier:

There's even a decent Android client:

There are Pass-compatible apps for iOS, Android, Windows, etc. I use Password Store on Android and QtPass on Windows.
