Comment on OSX password script for everyone to knowparent

Comments

Keychain uses AES256 so it's about as reasonably secure of a single-password solution as you can get (given you use it correctly). I would assume 1Password is equivalently secure.

I'm less worried about the crypto algorithms used than what's available decrypted and when.

The choice of encryption algorithm only lets us point out which systems are broken, not which ones are secure. A secure system could never use ROT13, but a broken system could definitely use AES256.
