Mnemonikey | Determinstic PGP key recovery using phrases | v0.0.1 prerelease published
As far as I'm aware, Mnemonikey is the first of its kind, rhyming only with the related but conceptually different passphrase2pgp tool, from which I drew my original inspiration.

OpenPGP master key on Nitrokey Start
I think people should seriously consider using something like passphrase2pgp [0] in addition to a hardware key like this. That way you can have a brain key (hopefully generated with diceware or equivalent) to tie together day-to-day keys like this to a more permanent identity. I'm honestly surprised that strategy is not more widespread.

Seeking feedback: mnemonikey - Determinstic backup and recovery of PGP keys using human-readable phrases.
Check out Chris Wellons' tool passphrase2pgp - it does exactly what you're describing by hashing an arbitrary input passphrase with Argon2.

pass: password manager for true geeks. Control everything yourself, sync among devices, enjoy your security. Cheat sheet for setting it up
So the easiest way to synchronize gpg keys I found is https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp - it generates a deterministic gpg key (also ssh keys, x509 certificates...) from a passphrase. Excellent tool

I've locked myself out of my digital life
One way to circumvent this is to use a strong passphrase to deterministically generate the PGP/SSH key [1] to unlock other passwords. The SSH key could grant access to a remote server with backups and the PGP key could decrypt passwords using pass [2].

BIP 39 mnemonic phrase to GPG key?
I know there are tools that can generate GPG from arbitrary inputs, but what I'm really looking for is something with direct compatibility with BIP 39 or (BIP 44) phrases in particular.
-
A GPG key derived from mnemonic phrase?
What if https://github.com/skeeto/passphrase2pgp is not obviously the software to use, or doesn't exist at some later point?

charmbracelet/melt: Backup and restore Ed25519 SSH keys with seed words
My own tool, passphrase2pgp works this way. It generates both OpenPGP and SSH Ed25519 keys from a user-chosen passphrase, and it's designed to send the key straight into the ssh-agent on demand.
-
Why did they do it this way?
Derive my keypair entirely from a passphrase, with generous key stretching. I never need to worry about backing up my keys. I later extended this idea to OpenPGP and SSH, where I also exclusively use passphrase-derived keys: passphrase2pgp.
-
What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
passphrase2pgp: for storing my PGP and SSH keys in my brain. Neither ever reside in permanent storage.

Fired for leaked credentials. How do I explain this?
use a password manager, seriously. I know my setup is overkill, but I've been rocking the yubikey/gopass combo for like 3-4 years now.

How do you protect your secret keys in your local computer?
Depend on the kind of keys or secrets in general, and the infrastructure you work with. As bare minimum KeePassX/KeePassXC works as personal keys vault (that have a master password), GoPass (+git) as team passwords repository that use GPG keys as encryption, and passphrase for SSH keys. And, of course, trying to be mindful in what I run in my local computer.

GitHub makes 2FA mandatory next week for active developers
Thank you for the details, and pointer to a solution. I've just installed gopass.
I also (in looking through other threads) found https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass and by reading the code learned how TOTP works.

What is your go-to password manager for Linux, and why did you choose that one?
I use gopass, because it is pass compliant and supports multiple recipients / teams which was my initial usecase for it. Just ask if you have any questions about my usage of it!

Yubikey/gpg password encryption
I'm currently using passwordstore/gopass for password management. It uses my GPG key to encrypt the passwords. The GPG key lives only only my Yubikey. The Yubikey requires a touch for each decryption.

Pa – a simple password manager based on age
That's true, the simple & fast UI (TUI/GUI) helps a lot. However, I would not extrapolate it to a huge problem. I am person, who have written own pass/passage implementation [0], just because I disliked how many steps I need to make to select the password for the form input, modify it or sync secrets.
Initially, I had used the `gopass`. It is probably the most convenient way to start using the password-store. It is cross-platform, 100% compatible with pass & pass-otp. To copy the password, you basically type the part of the file you are looking for. If you type "gopass show github", it will display a TUI, where you can select the file you are looking for (let's say you have two files "personal/github.com.gpg" and "work/github.com.gpg"). Unfortunately, the search function was far from perfect, and it had a problem with typos like "gtihbu" at the time, when I was using it.
To get rid of this issue, I decided to adapt pass/gopass to use `fzf` [2]. In the same time, my .password-store/ dir was rapidly growing that made me think about implementing pass from scratch. I improved the implementation to have better caching, synchronization between machines/mobile, but more importantly - a simple `secret [arg]` command that will execute `fzf` to list all known creds and simplify selection of the password. Of course, it accepted an argument that was limiting the results, which is great when you need to get back to the previous credential to retype something.
The introduction of `fzf` made it really convenient, and I decided to add more commands with fuzzy search, such as:
- `otp` - limits results files containing TOTP/HOTP token, calculates and copies it to the clipboard.
- `secret-edit`, `secret-remove`, `secret-show`... aliases to sub-commands that open `fzf` command in multi-selection mode, so by utilizing space key I could select what files are meant to be modified, removed, displayed etc. Quite handy for mass-edit.
- `secret-qr` - similar to the gopass' feature, but it made a simplified way to create and display QR codes dedicated to share contacts, WiFI SSID+password combination (etc.) to someone who was asking for creds from me.
Awesome, but alt-tabbing got me annoyed after a few years of using. I started pursuing for more sophisticated interface. I decided to give `rofi` [3] a try. I managed to fork that repo and also adapt to my convention of using password-store, but I left i3 for a macOS.
Currently, I have started working on a browser extension that takes care of suggesting password-store creds (based on the path, input parameters, location on the website etc.) similarly to what uBlock Origin does. That configuration is passed to my pass implementation, so on the github.com, my browser have only "work" and "personal" auto-suggestion, when I am focusing the text input.
I plan to create a similar app to Shortcat [4], but it will preserve the information what password has been asked for the focused app. I think, with VoiceOver assistance, it is more than possible to mitigate the need for alt-tabbing to the terminal for electron/native apps.

Favorite Password Manager?
gopass is what I've used for a long time. I like how it interfaces with the yubikey/gpg and how password stores can be held in a git repo. There are browser interfaces and GUIs for it but I tend to use it from the command line most of the time.

Tool / workflow recommendations for the terminal
I wrote my own secret manager: safe. It stores your secrets as encrypted files on your disk (like pass and gopass), and is accessible from the command line. It differs from them in that you only need a master password to use it (so no GPG keys to manage). It comes with an agent (like ssh-agent) that can store your encryption key in memory to avoid typing your master password over and over.
