Stymie
Features
- No need to remember another password,
stymie
will use the default GPG key. - Create any number of key fields beyond the default username and password. For example:
username: 'derp',
password: '1234',
SSN: '123-45-6789',
securityAnswer: '1st Avenue'
- Since everything is stored in
.stymie.d/
, it's easy to port between systems. - GPG end-to-end encryption allows
stymie
to be safely versioned. - Generate passwords using Diceware, Sillypass or enter a custom password.
Security Features
- Uses GPG/PGP public-key cryptography to encrypt everything (even configs).
- Uses OS-level permissions-based access control so only the user can view and list any files created by the user.
- Encrypts using the
--hidden-recipient
flag so as to not include the recipient's key ID in the encrypted file. - Optionally, asks to set
$HISTIGNORE
sostymie
commands aren't stored in history [1].
[1] As an alternative to setting $HISTIGNORE
, most shells by default allow for any command preceded by a [[SPACE]]
to be ignored by history. Check the value of $HISTCONTROL
for support.
Only Linux and OS X are supported. There are no plans to support Windows.
