paper-age (opens in new tab)

My laptop is gone. My password manager database lives in the cloud - but the cloud storage password is a random 40-character string that only exists inside that password manager. Classic chicken-and-egg. My solution: print the password on paper, encrypted. paper-age is a tool that takes any secret and produces a printable PDF containing a QR code with the data encrypted using age - passphrase-based symmetric encryption. One passphrase to remember, everything else on paper.
