Passvault

This is a fully featured CLI based password manager written in Rust. It’s fast, secure and runs completely local on your machine. I built this to learn Rust, and ended up also learning a good bit about cryptography in the process.

Installation

cargo install passvault

Usage

passvault

Features

• Uses argon2 for password hashing with random salt
• AES-GCM for encrypting and decrypting passwords with master password as the key
• Uses rpassword for securely reading passwords from the terminal
• Master password is required to access the vault and decrypt passwords
• Encrypted passwords are stored in a local sqlite3 database which can be exported to a csv file

Commands

• passvault add to add a new password
• passvault list to list all passwords. Has view, update, copy to clipboard and delete options
• passvault list <website-name> to search for a specific password
• passvault reset to reset the master password and database
• passvault export to export all passwords to a csv file

Future improvements

• Add favorites to easily access and copy passwords to clipboard
• Cache master password key in memory to avoid re-prompting for a set amount of time until it expires
