v0.2.0 — We built a whole password manager

What started as a TUI password generator is now a full encrypted vault. We went there.

What's new

• Encrypted vault — AES-256-GCM + Argon2id. No more plaintext passwords.txt.
• Master password — your vault actually has a lock now.
• Full CRUD — add, edit, delete, browse entries.
• Live search — start typing, entries filter instantly.
• Clipboard auto-clears after 30s with a countdown.
• Idle lock — walk away, vault locks itself.
• Config file — ~/.ironkey/config.toml for your preferences.

Fixes

• Passwords are actually random now (was reusing the same sample pool — oops)
• Zero-length and empty character set edge cases handled properly
• Fixed double-input bug on tab navigation

Install

cargo install ironkey        # crates.io
yay -S ironkey-git           # AUR (btw)

Release 0.1.3

Release Notes

In this version, I've fixed the clipboard issue that some of you might have been facing. I've also included support for X11 and Wayland protocols. Currently, there's no support for Windows and macOS, but this will be addressed in the future.Additionally, there has been a major refactoring. You can see this reflected in the reduced file size of the binary.

That's about it for now. Stay tuned for more updates!
