Where to store credentials?

Previously, our user credentials for Virtuoso were publicly accessible on the GitHub Wiki for this repo. I've since changed them, but how should we manage credentials? ChatGPT is suggesting KeePassXC, which is a free, open-source, offline password manager. It would make a password file that we could put in a shared OneDrive for people to download. Is this overkill?

Kyrie says that we also have some other credentials that are on the lab wiki. I could put credentials there since it's private, although ChatGPT says Wikis are not ideal since they usually have weak or no encryption. What do you all think?

Are these credentials to login to the virtuoso program (ie. through an internal-to-virtuoso authentication system) or something like ssh-ing to the virtuoso server? I think you're saying the former.

In that case, can we just have multiple users on virtuoso? Do we need to share logins at all?

You're right, we can just have multiple users. I'll make you an account and send you the credentials, which you can change, to avoid bus factoring myself.
