Vault is a simple Python password manager. It allows you to securely save secrets with a simple CLI interface.

## Features

- Secrets are stored in an encrypted SQLite database with [SQLCipher](https://www.zetetic.net/sqlcipher/)
- Within the database, each password and notes are encrypted with a unique salt using AES-256 encryption with [pycryptodome](http://legrandin.github.io/pycryptodome/)
- Master key is hashed with a unique salt
- Possibility to create an unlimited number of vaults
- Clipboard cleared automatically
- Automatic vault locking after inactivity
- Password suggestions with [password-generator-py](https://github.com/gabfl/password-generator-py)
- Import / Export in Json

## Basic usage

## Installation and setup

Vault 2.x requires `sqlcipher` to be installed on your machine.

### MacOS

On MacOS, you can install `sqlcipher` with [brew](https://brew.sh/):
```bash
brew install sqlcipher

# Install sqlcipher3
SQLCIPHER_VERSION="0.5.3"
pip3 install sqlcipher3==$SQLCIPHER_VERSION

# If you are getting an error "Failed to build sqlcipher3", you would need to fix the build flags:
SQLCIPHER_PATH="$(brew --cellar sqlcipher)/$(brew list --versions sqlcipher | tr ' ' '\n' | tail -1)"
C_INCLUDE_PATH=$SQLCIPHER_PATH/include LIBRARY_PATH=$SQLCIPHER_PATH/lib pip3 install sqlcipher3==$SQLCIPHER_VERSION
```

Then install the vault:

```bash
pip3 install pyvault

# Run setup
vault
```

### Ubuntu / Debian

On Ubuntu/Debian, you can install `sqlcipher` with apt:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y gcc python3-dev libsqlcipher-dev xclip
```

Then install the vault:

```bash
pip3 install pyvault

# Run setup
vault
```
