Basically every local service is accessed via a web interface, and every interface wants a username and password. Assuming none of these services are exposed to the internet, how much effort do you put into security here?
Personally, I didn’t really think about it when I started. I make a half-assed effort at security where I don’t use “admin” or anything obvious as the username, and I use a decent-but-not-industrial password - but I started reusing the u/p as the number of services I’m running grew. I have my browsers remember the u/ps.
Should one go farther than this? And if so, what’s the threat model? Is there an easier way?
Is there a passkey setup that’s easy to self host? I think passkeys with a backup would be best.
I’ve been looking at https://github.com/stonith404/pocket-id?ref=selfh.st
Hmm this is actually interesting, passkeys would indeed make things simpler.
