A secure and easy-to-use password manager for macOS and Linux.
## Features
* Strong, modern encryption with sensible defaults (ChaCha20-Poly1305, AES-GCM, OpenPGP)
* Configurable safe storage (file, AWS S3)
* Secure notes
* Built-in password generator
* Clipboard support
* Automatic backups
* Sync multiple safes
* Export accounts to JSON
* No external dependencies
## Install
#### go get
```sh
go get -u github.com/bndw/pick
```
#### Homebrew
```sh
brew install bndw/pick/pick-pass
```
#### From source
```sh
git clone https://github.com/bndw/pick && cd pick
make
make install
```
## Getting started
If you haven't used `pick` before, first initialize your safe to set a master
password:
```sh
pick init
```
Make your master password strong, unique, and don't forget it! You'll need your
master password to access your safe. Without it your safe can not be unlocked.
#### Add an account
```sh
pick add work/email
```
#### List accounts
```sh
pick ls
```
#### View an account
```sh
pick cat work/email
```
#### Copy a password to the clipboard
```sh
pick cp work/email
```
*For all commands, please refer to the [Usage](#usage) section with `pick --help`.*

## Security
`pick` is focused on security and to this end it is _essential_ to only run the
`pick` binary on a trusted computer. Conversely, you don't necessarily need to
trust the computer or server storing the pick safe (e.g. `Amazon S3`). This is
because the pick safe is encrypted and authenticated and cannot by decrypted or
unnoticeably modified without the master password.
If you've found a vulnerability or a potential vulnerability in pick please
email us at [email protected]. We'll send a confirmation email to
acknowledge your report, and we'll send an additional email when we've
identified the issue positively or negatively.
