We use [pass, 'the standard unix password manager'](https://www.passwordstore.org/), to manage our key store securely at Deuxfleurs.

If you see a listing, it worked. Last step is to select a shell password for yourself on the cluster you are now in charge of (`prod` or `staging`, at the time of writing).
Clone the nixcfg repository:

cd nixcfg

./passwd

This commited changes to Deuxfleurs' password store, do verify your modifications before pushing them:
```
cd ~/.password-store/deuxfleurs
git diff
git push
```
You should now be able to `ssh` into our infrastructure with a unified shell password. This is explicated in `nixcfg` repo's [README](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/nixcfg#how-to-operate-a-node). Be cautious, and enjoy!
