Description

"Secrets" is a command-line interface password manager designed to help users store and manage their passwords securely. With "Secrets", users can easily define and create strong passwords, which are then encrypted using an encryption algorithm of their choice. This tool is especially useful for individuals who need to manage multiple accounts across various platforms and want a safe and reliable way to store their passwords.

By using "Secrets", users can avoid the need to remember numerous passwords, which can be time-consuming and difficult to manage. Instead, they can simply access their password database through the command-line interface and quickly retrieve the password they need for a specific account. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of forgetting passwords or using weak ones.

Setup

To use "Secrets", you must first install the package on your local machine.
Once you have installed the package, you will need to set a password before you can start using the password manager. To do this, run the following command:

$ secrets password-set

This will prompt you to enter a password. Make sure to choose a strong and secure password that you can remember, as you will need to enter it every time you want to access your password database.

After setting your password, you can start using "Secrets" to store and manage your passwords. By default, your passwords will be encrypted using the AES encryption algorithm. However, you can change this to a different encryption algorithm by modifying the config file. To do this, simply edit the .missing-comma/secrets/config.json file and change the encryption_algorithm parameter to the desired algorithm.

Note that if you forget your password, there is no way to recover it. Therefore, it is important to choose a password that you can remember or store it in a safe place.
