Use NumFOCUS managed 1Password for project related passwords

[ellisonbg]

(like #107 this one came up in the private Steering Council group and we wanted to open it up for public discussion and eventual voting).

Currently we manage project wide passwords using a painful combination of KeePass and a shared Dropbox folder. NumFOCUS has an organizational 1Password account that we could use for this purpose. I propose we adopt that approach and work with NumFOCUS to migrate our shared passwords over there.

Thanks Brian, I'm in favor of this.

Just as a complement of information this is to potentially share password with sometime non-developers, and not for things like publishing projects and so on, but for services that do not offer multiple login credentials.

When services do have a delegation or multiple owners possibilities, we would still use those.

TOS generally do say "I will not share my password".

From https://support.google.com/mail/answer/138350?hl=en :

Delegate and collaborate on email
In Gmail, delegated accounts and shared inboxes are the same thing. Use them to grant people (delegates) access to your Gmail account, resulting in an inbox with benefits such as:

• Automatically sorting email with filters (rules)
• Keeping a record of correspondence by archiving email
• Tracking the status of email messages using labels
• Showing or hiding the delegate’s name as the sender
• Delegates can read, send, and delete your email messages. They can’t chat with anyone for you or change your Gmail password. When they send a message, their email address appears.

Difference between these accounts or inboxes & Collaborative Inboxes
A Collaborative Inbox is a type of group you create in Google Groups.

• Members can send messages, assign conversations to each other, and track conversations as tasks.
• A Collaborative Inbox has an email address.
• People can send and receive Collaborative Inbox messages using email clients such as Gmail. For details, visit Send emails from a different address or alias.

Thanks to @Carreau this is now done. Closing.
