Getting started

If you haven't used pick before, first initialize your safe to set a master password:

pick init

Make your master password strong, unique, and don't forget it! You'll need your master password to access your safe. Without it your safe can not be unlocked.

Add an account

pick add work/email

List accounts

pick ls

View an account

pick cat work/email

Copy a password to the clipboard

pick cp work/email

For all commands, please refer to the Usage section with pick --help.

Security

pick is focused on security and to this end it is essential to only run the pick binary on a trusted computer. Conversely, you don't necessarily need to trust the computer or server storing the pick safe (e.g. Amazon S3). This is because the pick safe is encrypted and authenticated and cannot by decrypted or unnoticeably modified without the master password.

If you've found a vulnerability or a potential vulnerability in pick please email us at pick-security@bndw.co. We'll send a confirmation email to acknowledge your report, and we'll send an additional email when we've identified the issue positively or negatively.
