Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Lightweight
The utility itself has no GUI, and is written in Python, so it’s portable and has few dependencies.
Pro Requires little to no storage
Passacre needs only a configuration file to tell it how to hash passwords, what kind of output it should produce, and which sites need specific generation rules. There’s no database where passwords are stored, so it’s not possible to be locked out of everything if that file is lost.
Pro Automatic lock
GateKeeper automatically locks the computer as soon as the user leaves the proximity.
Pro Continuous authentication
Rather than traditional 2FA that only authenticates at one point in time, GateKeeper continues to authenticate even after the user is logged in. This way, there is truly 100% security 24/7.
Pro No passwords to type
Typing passwords sucks and this device makes it so you don't have to remember any passwords.
Pro Faster EHR login!
No complicated 2fa or extra steps. I login to my workstation and the passwords all auto-fill on websites and available for on-premise EHR.
Pro Password manager for computers and applications
Not just for websites, but get into your computer and software applications too.
Pro Automatic authentication
Doesn't rely on the user typing a password or an OTP code - works with presence.
Pro RDP and Thin Clients
When you login to an RDP session, the Gatekeeper key pushes your passwords through so you can use them with thin clients.
Pro Best customer service!
There's always something that we need help with and gatekeeper is always there to save us. Best customer service, ever. They dont treat you different for being a smaller client.
Pro Audit reports
No more wondering which employee logged into which workstation when.
Pro Touch to login
Using a key to touch the computer to login is so much easier than memorizing different passwords.
Pro Switch workstations without typing passwords again
Really fast login, so if you have a annoying timeout policy, gatekeeper keeps you logged in as long as you're still there.
Cons
Con Requires knowledge of the command line
To use passacre, some knowledge of the command line as well as Python is required.
Con Apart from automations, it's no better than Keepass
Put a key file to a small pendrive and you're set. At least with Keepass you can sync the database and key file to reduce the effect of human errors.
