YAMP

Yet Another Minimalistic Passwordmanager

Description

A minimal CLI-based password manager built upon redis-cache.

Installation

yamp is available at rubygems. You can install it by typing gem install yamp in your terminal or download it directly from https://rubygems.org/gems/yamp.

Setup

General

A running redis server is required.

You'll be prompted for the master password on every action and if yamp hasn't already been set up on the specified redis db instance the input will be used as the new master password, else the input gets validated against an existing master password.

Configuration File

yamp creates a YAML configuration file in your home directory called .yamp where you can customize some behavior and specify another redis server to connect to instead of the local unprotected standard redis instance which is used by default.

Usage

Each command prompts interactively for the master password which is used to encrypt and decrypt the data on the inside. When creating entries and no password is specified explicitly a random and secure 32 byte password will be generated and used instead. While a password is always mandatory for an entry a username is not.

Important notes

This project is still under active development and is yet to see many upcoming changes, bug fixes and also feature implementations.
