Expand description
A password manager, as of right now it is command line only
The interface works by allowing you to encrypt your data with a master password as most password managers do.
On the first creatiion of a vault it will prompt you for a master password to use. If there is
a need to rotate the master password the rotate command is provided, updating the vaults
password to the new master password and creating a backup of the old vault if you need to
restore the previous password.
Whenever pulling a password out of the vault it will copy it to your clipboard for a few seconds and then attempt to restore the previous contents of your clipboard to prevent unintentional pastes of the password.
§Examples
The basic interface operates around new, get, update, and delete.
