Gopass: a password manager in your terminal
[Gopass](https://www.gopass.pw/) is a password manager based on PGP or age, that allows you to easily manage your passwords but also your team's passwords in a way that's fully transparent, easy to backup, easy to monitor and easy to use. It supports hardware tokens such as Yubikeys, it allows you to setup versioning using git easily and supports multiple "stores" from different remotes.
It integrates very nicely with a command line based approach and dmenu plus xdotools make it a breeze to use (unless you prefer to rely on the dedicated browser extension).

In this workshop, we will walk through the "password issue", the hope for a better future and see what are our best options nowadays.
Finally, we will go through the setup of the password manager of your choice, I highly recommend choosing Gopass, learn about good practices with passwords and (if you brought yours) setup your password store using a hardware token if possible.
Bring you own laptop and a **USB stick** (for proper backup and recovery purposes). Notice that running Linux is the best way to fully benefit from Gopass, but MacOS and Windows are also (somewhat) supported. Please, if you have one (even already in use for something else), bring your Yubikey 4+ with you, since you can easily increase your password store's security using it.
You can also come if you'd like to enhance your existing password store setup, or if you need help migrating your existing password store over to Gopass.

This is a submission for a keynote talk at MCH2022. The Internet is both a familiar, comfortable place as well as a bottomless rabbit hole you can lose yourself in. The Internet has always been like this from its inception, the difference now is the scale and consequences are almost immeasurable - and it tests the limits of human imagination. When you look into the mirror of the Internet what you see reflected back depends on what you are looking for. It has become largely a reflection of ...

Have you ever forgotten a passphrase or lost a hardware token? Lost access to enough Bitcoin to buy a pizza or two? Encryption is fundamental to securing our liberties, but key and password management remain difficult even for professionals, let alone the general public. This talk presents Passcrow, an Open Source project attempting to address one of crypto's largest usability issues: password and key recovery in a decentralized environment.

Thanks to DNSSEC and DANE, it is possible to automatically verify user@domain.name identities by checking with domain.name servers. The real problem however, is integration with existing protocols, instead of inventing something completely new and perhaps web-only. The purpose of our work on Realm Crossover mechanisms has been to design generic solutions that extend many different application protocols, without changing their protocol specs.
