A lightning-fast password manager for the command line and for the Web. The data is saved in an online vault at passlanevault.com. There is also a web interface that you can use to access your credentials on any device.
You can use Passlane in two different modes:
The Passlane Vault is secured by Auth0 and OAuth 2.0. All passwords are stored encrypted and the master password is not stored on our servers. The master password is only used locally to decrypt the password values and never sent to our servers.
If you want to take advantage of the Passlane Vault, head over to passlanevault.com and sign up for a free account. Once you have the account, run
bash
passlane login
to connect the CLI with the vault.
passlane to your $PATHcargo build --releasepasslane binary to your $PATH```bash $ passlane -h passlane A password manager and a CLI client for the online Passlane Vault

or alternatively
Passlane uses the keyring crate to sync credentials to the operating system's keychain. Syncing should work on Linux, iOS, macOS, and Windows.
Use option add command together with option -k to save the last generated password to the Passlane storage file and to the keychain:
passlane add -k
To sync all Passlane stored options to the keychain use the keychain-push command:
passlane keychain-push
You can import credentials from a CSV file. With this approach, you can easily migrate from less elegant and often expensive commercial services.
First, make sure that the CSV file has a header line (1st line) with the following column titles:
The service field is the URL or name of the service. When importing from Dashlane, the only necessary preparation is to rename url to service.
To export the credentials to a CSV file and import the file into Passlane:
bash
passlane csv <path_to_csv_file>
Here are links to instructions for doing the CSV export:
