Lecture: Why we need free password managers

Who owns the keys to your kingdom?

Password managers are becoming an important part of the security infrastructure, but increasingly closed source applications are used for this purpose. This talk uses my ripasso as a spring drive to discuss the role of this type of software.

This talk will be about my experience building uis for the pass password manager, and some related concerns:

* Why usability is a security feature
*The need for free software password manages
* Can this be a path to drive GPG adoption?
