Keepass 2 (KDBX) password database parsing and creation
Documentation

KDBX-rs

Documentation | Repository | crates.io

Library for reading and writing KDBX libraries from Rust.

Example code

Obtaining the first password in the password database:

use kdbx_rs::{self, CompositeKey, Error};
fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
    let file_path = "./res/test_input/kdbx4-argon2.kdbx";
    let kdbx = kdbx_rs::open(file_path)?;
    let key = CompositeKey::from_password("kdbxrs");
    let unlocked = kdbx.unlock(&key)?;

    println!(unlocked.root().entries[0].password())
    Ok(())
}

Generating a new password database:

let mut database = Database::default();
database.set_name("My First Database");
database.set_description("Created with kdbx-rs");

let mut entry = Entry::default();
entry.set_password("password1");
entry.set_url("https://example.com");
entry.set_username("User123");

database.add_entry(Entry);

Saving a database to a file

let mut database = Database::default();
let kdbx = Kdbx::from_database(database);
kdbx.set_key(CompositeKey::from_password("foo123"))?;

let mut file = File::create("/tmp/kdbx-rs-example.kdbx")?;
kdbx.write(&mut file)?;
