Comment (by anarcat):

 >  Currently, these are only shared in person (via military-grade post-
 quantum encrypted point-to-point subspace transmission).

 Could you clarify how subspace transmissions work? I'm actually curious in
 having a solid inventory of the different mechanisms.

 >  While this "works", I'd really appreciate having an easier and more
 fault-tolerant way of securely sharing this information (given the
 importance of keeping this information private). I don't know if such a
 system exists as a solution that Tor can deploy, but that's another wish-
 list item of mine :)

 What do you mean by "fault-tolerant" here? And I'll note that there are
 *many* password managers out there, and surely there is one that would
 fulfill your dreams.

 One question, for me, is also whether we should have "one big password
 manager" for everyone or multiple databases. And even with multiple
 databases, we should decide whether we use the same software everywhere so
 that user on team A doesn't get a bad surprise when they try to work with
 team B.
