keepi is a npm package that allows users to securely store and manage passwords locally on their own machine. The package encrypts passwords using a user-defined secret key before storing them. It provides a command-line interface (CLI) for easy interaction.
To install keepi, run the following npm command:
sudo npm i -g keepi@latestAfter installation, use the following command to access the menu:
kpi- Enter new Password
Prompt the user for a password, secret key, and password name. Encrypts the password using the provided secret key and stores it locally.
- Find Password
Search for a stored password by providing the password name. Decrypts and displays the password if found.
- Delete Password
Remove a stored password by specifying the password name. Requires confirmation before deletion.
- Edit Secret Key
Allows the user to edit the secret key used for encryption.
- CANCEL Cancel and exit the menu.
When you run the kpi command for the first time, keepi will create a local database in your home directory (~).
All passwords entered using keepi will be securely encrypted using the user-provided secret key and stored within this local database. It is important to note that the database is unique to each user and is only accessible from the machine where the kpi command is executed.
Ensure the security of your home directory and regularly back up the contents of the local database, especially if you plan to use keepi across multiple machines or in case of system upgrades or changes.
