Login

pass login USER SECRET

PassVault will create different store files named USER.store.json for each USER.

Secret is your encryption key, at least 4 characters, required.

Note that: PassVault will try to repeate your secret until 16 characters long. This is because the encryptor used internally requires a key at least 16 characters long.

Once logged in:

Save

pass save foo --Account [email protected] --Password foobarbaz

You can save key-value pairs as many as you want.

For example, you might want to add other information like --url https://foo.com later.

If you save a new item which actually exists in the your store, your information will be updated, and overwritten.

Find

# This will print:
# foo:
# Account: [email protected]
# Password: foobarbaz
