A simple password manager for storing passwords encrypted. The goal of this software is to provide a minimal, easy security vault which is open source. Anyone who would like can check how the software works and what it does.
CAUTION: If you forget your primary password, there is no way of recovering the data! As of now there are no backup authentification mechanisms impelmented.
DISCLAIMER: The developer of this software does not take any responsibility for lost data. By using this software you agree to not press charges in any form in case of data loss or other negative effects caused by the use of this software.
This Application lets you store passwords and other sensitive information. All data you store will be AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard) encrypted which which to-date has no known weaknesses that can be exploited (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard#Known_attacks). This Application does not communicate with any webservices so that the user at all times controls were his most important data is being stored.
On the main screen you can add new password entries with the 'add' button or by pressing 'CTRL+A'. Once a new entry was added you can enter you information and save it by either clicking on 'save' or by pressing 'CTRL+S'. To enter a password click on the 'change' button next to it. By default a password won't be displayed, you have to check the 'show' checkbox to make it visible. The application tries to immediately remove the password from the main memory once it is hidden to protect it from malware.
You can sort your list by expanding the sorting menu and choose a property you want to sort your password data by. You can also expand the search menu to search for a specific credential entry.
When you open the 'settings' window you will see a 'primary file' field. The primary file is the password storage file which keeps your data in encrypted form. Only the Plain Password Manager is able to decrypt this file given you entered the correct master password at the start of the application. If you click on 'set file' you can choose a new location for the data to be stored. The old file will be deleted once you close the settings window and all data will be moved to the new file.
When you open the 'settings' window you will see a list with all 'secondary paths'. This list will be empty if you have started the application for the first time. You can add new paths to this list. No data will be loaded from the files you specify in this list but every time you save your data it will also be saved to all files you have specified here. They serve as a kind of backup in case you loose your main file so keep them on a seperate hard drive (or server) if possible.
When you open the 'settings' window you will see a button called 'Import...' at the top right. This button can be used if you want to import an existing password storage file rather than using the current primary file. CAUTION: Once you import a password storage file you will be asked to enter the password of this new file. All data of the old file will be lost! The application will make a backup copy of the old file which you can import if you want to recover the data at some point.
You can at any time change the master password of your password storage. The application will then decrypt and re-encrypt all your data with the new password.
