Crypt

A convenient credential store that securely saved account info. The crypt cli provides simple commands to add, modify and list all stored credentials.

Crypt stores credentials in an aes encrypted file cryptfile. The crypt binary will resolve the default crypfile in the following locations in order.

1. --cryptfile, -c flag
2. CRYPTFILE env variable
3. ~/.cryptfile

The strength of a password is limited by its convention and length. Easy to remember usually means easier to crack. Committing a long password is hard and storing the password in plaintext in your pc is a major point of failure.

Crypt will use a SHA256 hash as the key to unlock the cryptfile. The hash will be computed from a password that the user provides.

Commands

1. add adds a credential to the resolved cryptfile
2. delete deletes the given service from crypt
3. edit edits individual fields for the given service
4. export exports the cryptfile to plain json (mostly for debugging, be careful)
5. show show information about a service while copying the pwd to your clipboard
6. info metadata about the resolved cryptfile
7. ls list all stored services in the resolved cryptfile
8. new creates a new cryptfile
9. pwd copies the pwd of the specified service in your clipboard

Structure

Each service is stored as a credential with the given structure.

credential {
  service: string
  email: string
  username: string
