Crypt: A Password Manager

A simple command-line password manager, written in Rust + SQLite. This tool allows you to manage accounts and generate random passwords containing ASCII letters, numbers, and punctuation or XKCD-like passphrases.

Data is encrypted prior to being saved within the SQLite database using the fernet crate. Encryption and decryption require the use of a randomly-generated key saved as vault.key but the key-file is saved in plaintext, which means that an attacker that can access the key-file can also decrypt the database. Further development may allow password-protection of the key-file; please open an issue or pull request if you want this feature!

NOTE: This crate is not ready for use in production yet. There are many items still left to implement prior to a production-ready release - see the TODO section for more details.
