# Some ideas for future work ## Subcommands (In no particular order.) ### Derivation schemes * `spectre` (`master-password`): derive passphrases according to the "Master Password" scheme as used by the Spectre app. ([#2]) ### Other functionality * `explore-permitted-special-characters`: generate new configurations starting from a base configuration until one of them passes the "special characters" constraints. * `rotate`: generate a new configuration suitable for passphrase rotation, compatible with the base configuration's constraints. * `service-plugins`: manage plugins that automate certain tasks, as outlined in the notes of the queried service. * `load-ssh-key`: if the service uses an SSH key, autoload the key from a well-known location into the SSH agent if it isn't already loaded. `vault`-specific. * `decrypt-notes`: decrypt OpenPGP-encrypted notes with GnuPG or Sequoia `sq`. Open questions: - Use an automatic, symmetric encryption key, or rely on the standard OpenPGP key store? (Do *not* use the derived service passphrase for this: the quality may be arbitrarily bad due to the passphrase constaints, and the service itself could compromise that passphrase.) * `generate-otp`: if the service uses two-factor authentication and the configuration contains one-time password settings, call `oathtool` to obtain one or more OTPs. May require the `decrypt-notes` plugin first. * `manage-runit-services`: if the service contains `runit` service configuration, ensure the specified `runit` services are running concurrently, and stopped after signalling. Typical use case is a service only accessible via VPN or SSH proxy, where the VPN/proxy would run as a `runit` service. Open questions: - Interface with `inotifywait` to wait for SSH control socket?

[DIATAXIS]: https://diataxis.fr ### Tutorials * [Setting up `derivepassphrase` from scratch for three existing accounts, with a master passphrase](tutorials/basic-setup-password.md) * Setting up `derivepassphrase` from scratch for three existing accounts, with a new SSH key ### How-tos * How to set up `derivepassphrase` with an SSH key * How to choose a good service name * How to edit a saved `derivepassphrase vault` configuration correctly * How to deal with "supported" and "unsupported" special characters * How to deal with regular passphrase rotation/rollover ### Reference * `derivepassphrase-vault.json`(<b>5</b>) ### Explanation * Security aspects and other tradeoffs when using deterministic password generators * Tradeoffs between a master passphrase and a master SSH key * Why is `vault`'s `--repeat` option named this way if it counts occurrences, not repetitions? * Why are master SSH keys not supported under Windows?
