Personal-Passvault

A flask application (Python) which can be used to store you creds and use without unwanted eavesdropping . This Application is an offline passvault using standard python cryto libraries . Hence comes with some manual maintenance for portability. The crux of the storage and security revolves around the file "secret_file.json" , Make sure the file is only accesible by you.

Install Dependencies -- pip install -r requirements.txt To Run type Python app.py and the app will be up at localhost:5000

Target Audience:

    * For people who wish to use credentials and in public places or within crowds
    * The application lets you copy creds without disclosing the value hence cannot be shouldersurfed
    * Simple operations to add/remove and view the credentials
    * Highly portable , copy the file "secret_file.json" any where u want and pull code from github and u have your app ready.
    * Minimal configuration and maintenance needed 
    * Extremely usefull if you want keep your creds offline and to know how and where they are stored.
    * Easy to modify and use your own crypto library

Cons:

Making it minimalist have its own limitations

    - The file "secret_file.json" is encrpted but not using the hardest crypto available hence any weaknes in standard python crypto do apply.
    - App is offline hence u cannot retrieve creds from another device
    - You need to carry the "secret_file.json" /code project wherever u need your creds
    - There is no master password recovery , update creds and many functionality available (at the moment)

Quick guide:

    - First time you run the app provide a password (master password) , which is used to encrypt you creds and is tied to you secret_file.json
    - You cannot update the master password hence if you need to change remove the secret file (that involves permanent loss of creds stored within)
    - Once you enter the correct password on successive logins , you can add passwords and has a provision to search creds using the domain name ("gmail")
    - Closing a card (password tiles) would remove the cred .
    - you cannot update a password tile - create a new one ! 

• Note - Functionalities would keep updated but the core idea of minimalist and simplicity would remain .
