A file system based secrets repository, powered by OpenPGP.
[ Getting Started | Installation | Development | Contributing | Credits | License | Author ]
For the past two decades, I have used various techniques to manage my confidential, personal information from flat files, encrypted volumes like TrueCrypt, BitLocker, to 3rd party tools like, KeePass, Boxcryptor and SafeInCloud. Each have their pros and cons.
Everybody has different ways they manage this and different needs.
So I decided, I will take a look at what I my requirements were and have listed them below
- It should be file system based
- Files should be encrypted at a file level
- Files should be plain text, yet structured if needed to be
- Files should have a version history
- Use Open Source Tools
With these requirements in mind, I set out to searching for a the right tool and I came across pass. Pass fit my requirements to the T, with just one issue, it is a linux based tool.
I have nothing against linux, just that most of my primary systems are Windows & I don't want to install WSL or anything else to get this to work. Looking at the home page of pass, I noticed there are a few windows based tools for the same listed there.
Looking at how pass was designed and the simplicity of it, started me down a path to create something of my own.
