vim-password-vault
==================
Tired of writing down your password somewhere?
Frustrated by those fancy gui-oriented password managers?
How about a plain text file, strongly encrypted, easyly to navigate,
with the tool you know best?
[Vim](http://www.vim.org/): it supports strong encryption via the "-x" option,
and it allows for some security-relevant settings directly in the file.
Find here an example for such a password file [.vault](.vault),
and an optional vimrc snippet for even more security.
In-File Settings
----------------
* crypt method: blowfish
* no backup or temporary files at allows
* automatic folding
Vim.rc Snippet Features
-----------------------
* y shortcut for easy copying of the current line to the clipboard
* auto-close file after 5min of inactivity
## Usage
```bash
vim -x .vault
```
