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 is 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 a sqlite db where sensitive data (password, security questions etc.) is encrypted using 32-bit AES encryption. This means that the metadata about service accounts is still stored in plaintext.
The cli will look for the sqlite db file in the following locations in order.
--crypt-db
,-c
flagCRYPT_DB
env variable./.crypt.db
~/.crypt.db
Multiple crypts can be stores in a single crypt db however the cli allows you to access one at a
time by specifying the name with the --crypt-name
flag.
The --help
flag can be used in conjunction with any command to get more details
about usage and optional flags.
