  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • Strongbox

    A KeePass/Password Safe Client for iOS and OS X

  • I use strongbox[1] on iOS and it has a feature to print off your entire database (automatically formats everything). The passwords are stored in a standard kdbx file that you can sync manually or use drive, iCloud, etc. KeepassXC[2] has browser extensions and cross-platform apps and pairs well with strongbox. (No print feature afaik) Both apps are open-source.

    > From the replies it sounds like this is talking about client software?

    Yes the command line is a client to the rubygems server

    > An unattended client should not be able to do WebAuthn as the whole point is that a human is present and authorising the authentication step

    You either need a PIN, a fingerprint, a press, or no action just owning the device or the software.

    > if I have 100% full of Bob's device I still can't touch the sensor or button to authenticate as Bob.

    If you have a perfect copy of a Yubikey or the same fingerprint you should be able to authenticate I think

    > OpenSSH works with Yubikeys

    Nice, I will look into it
