如果忘记密码，请恢复ansible-vault密码

Question

I am using ansible-vault to set password protect var/main.yml file. Now I can push my source code in source control system. After that deploys in production server. Suppose somebody manipulate the password or forgot the password. Is there any way to recover ansible-vault password or set the new password again without asking the old password?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Unless you brute force the password there is no way to recover it.

I suggest you use a password manager to store your password and share the password database within your organization. For example, you could store the password in a password service which has email or SMS reset option to recover the user account, though this might not be very good idea for high security environments .
