Obliviate

A password manager that forgets your passwords




  





  



## Description

Obliviate does not store your passwords but gives them to you when you need them. How?

It asks you for two things:

- the site you want to log in to

- a cipher key, which is any passphrase you can remember

Using these, it will derive a password, which you can set as your new password for that site.

The next time you need it, enter the same site and same cipher key. Obliviate will derive the same password as before.

It’s not magic, but it’s quite close.

### Bonus

If you need your passwords on another device, you can get them on the web from [obliviate.app](https://obliviate.app/).

## Built for elementary OS

While Obliviate will happily compile on any Linux distribution, it is primarily

built for [elementary OS].

[![Get it on AppCenter](https://appcenter.elementary.io/badge.svg)][appcenter]

## Developing and building

Development is targeted at [elementary OS]. If you want to hack on and

build Obliviate yourself, you'll need the following dependencies:

- libgranite-dev

- libgtk-3-dev

- libgcrypt20-dev

- libhandy-1-dev

- meson

- valac

You can install them on elementary OS with:

```shell

sudo apt install elementary-sdk libgcrypt20-dev

```

Run `meson build` to configure the build environment and run `ninja install`

to install:

```shell

meson build --prefix=/usr

cd build

sudo ninja install

```

Then run it with:

```shell

com.github.elfenware.obliviate

```
