Vault is a simple Python password manager. It allows you to securely save secrets with a simple CLI interface.
- Secrets are stored in an encrypted SQLite database with SQLCipher
- Within the database, each password and notes are encrypted with a unique salt using AES-256 encryption with pycryptodome
- Master key is hashed with a unique salt
- Possibility to create an unlimited number of vaults
- Clipboard cleared automatically
- Automatic vault locking after inactivity
- Password suggestions with password-generator-py
- Import / Export in Json
Vault 2.x requires sqlcipher
to be installed on your machine.
On MacOS, you can install sqlcipher
with brew:
brew install sqlcipher
# Install sqlcipher3
pip3 install sqlcipher3==0.4.5
# If you are getting an error "Failed to build sqlcipher3", you would need to fix the build flags:
SQLCIPHER_PATH="$(brew --cellar sqlcipher)/$(brew list --versions sqlcipher | tr ' ' '\n' | tail -1)"
C_INCLUDE_PATH=$SQLCIPHER_PATH/include LIBRARY_PATH=$SQLCIPHER_PATH/lib pip3 install sqlcipher3==0.4.5
Then install the vault:
pip3 install pyvault
# Run setup
vault
On Ubuntu/Debian, you can install sqlcipher
with apt:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gcc python3-dev libsqlcipher-dev xclip
Then install the vault:
pip3 install pyvault
# Run setup
vault
# Pull the image
docker pull gabfl/vault
# Create local directory
mkdir ~/.vault
# Launch image
docker run -v ~/.vault:/root/.vault -ti gabfl/vault
# Clone project
git clone https://github.com/gabfl/vault && cd vault
# Installation
pip3 install .
# Run setup
vault
