I love Weechat mainly because of its /secure command. Weechat has the most password security I've ever seen in an IRC client. reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-07-16 12:41 What does that command do? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elon_Satoshi · 2017-07-16 13:46 It's a password manager. First you type `/secure passphrase `. Then next time you start weechat, you'll need to type that password to unlock your data. Next, you type `/secure set freenode_password `. Now all you gotta do is `/set irc.server.freenode.password ${sec.data.freenode_password}` or `/eval /msg nickserv identify ${sec.data.freenode_password}` Type '/help secure' for more information. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-07-16 13:58 Feature creep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elon_Satoshi · 2017-07-16 16:14 Most other IRC clients store passwords in plaintext. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-07-16 17:43 Nobody cares. It's not the IRC client's responsibility to make sure those passwords can't be read by someone else. You have file permissions for that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicd · 2017-07-16 18:45 It's not just for passwords, it's for api tokens and any other configuration you want to secure. By your standards should all secure information be stored in plaintext and handled with file permissions? Layered security bro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2017-07-16 19:42 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Elon_Satoshi · 2017-07-16 19:46 File permissions are easily bypassed with a Linux Rescue CD, or any typical Live operating system. I have other reasons why I like Weechat, would you like to disagree with them too? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-07-16 19:48 No, I don't care. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- endperform · 2017-07-16 21:04 > ~~Nobody cares.~~ I don't care and because I don't care that means no one does. Go back under your bridge and wait for some goats, troll. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Barry_Scotts_Cat · 2017-07-16 21:55 If something is at the position to grab the password, you're fucked either way ---------------------------------------------------------------------- badpeaches · 2017-07-17 01:36 Come on, do it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- svn · 2017-07-17 07:04 Alright, alright. I CARE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2017-07-18 02:16 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adoroam · 2017-07-18 12:05 If someone has access to your physical rig, live CD or not, you're fucked. I'll err on the side of convenience.
