Why don't you simply work on securing the machine better? Why not encrypt the drive/partition?
And I do.
But I don't see why you are against using a master password. It is an available feature. The issue is solving its problems, not to stop using it.
If you are encrypting the whole drive/partition then using the master password a) offers no meaningful benefit The encryption of the drive/partition is going to be a lot stronger! b) is obviously an inconvenience. We're back to the "single sign-on' issue however you dress it up. You are living with a context where there are multiple demands for your password disrupting your work-flow. The whole point of password stores is "One password to rule them all" We can see this with the Google Universe. If you are saying that you *LIKE* having all these disruptions, having to do the identification/authentication at ache instance, logging in to each application, then that's a different matter. Its back to "how paranoid are you?" I consider myself pretty professionally paranoid about computer security, but I think the case you're presenting is based on the same kind myth than medicines should taste bad. Security doesn't have to be an inconvenience, and the fact you raised this at all makes it clear that it is an inconvenience to you. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
