yubikey-neo + KeyPassX + KeyPassDroid + OwnCloud

yubikey-neo + KeyPassX + KeyPassDroid + OwnCloud portable secure password vault

Searching through F-Droid for yubico I came across a link to KeyPassDroid; I’d come across a password safe solution on the yubico site using KeyPass, but was shied away as it mentioned the premium version… I don’t mind paying for shit, although if I can solve the issue with free open source alternatives I’ll spend hours trying 🙂

So the solution that I’ve pulled together:

1. created a KeyPassX database on my Ubuntu machine with all login email details
2. set password up in 2 steps
   1. self entered password
   2. password stored on yubikey-neo
3. setup key
4. saved key and KeyPassX database to OwnCloud
5. from Android download key and database opened with KeyPassDroid
6. password acquired on demand via NFC from yubikey-neo

Sorted, a free solution… excluding purchasing of yubikey-neo and host fee of website that allows for OwnCloud space.

Guess free alternatives could be Google Drive or MEGA for online file storage, and a more simple one step password 🙂

Quite happy with how it works, lets’s hope I don’t lose the yubikey-neo in the near future 🙂
