freepass

The free password manager for power users

Github stars Tracking Chart

NOTE: this is pretty much abandoned, I recommend Bitwarden now. There is an export command in the CLI that produces CSV suitable for import into Bitwarden.

NOTE: if you've been using freepass before June 03, 2017: you need to checkout the serde-migration git tag, build the CLI, and mergein your vault into a new one using that particular version.

The free password manager for power users.

What's going on?

  • A password manager.
  • Based on the Master Password algorithm, generates the same passwords as the Master Password apps.
  • But wait, there's more! Why stop at passwords? It generates...
    • Ed25519 digital signature keys for...
      • OpenSSH: Freepass adds private keys directly to a running ssh-agent & exports public keys in OpenSSH format!
      • signify: Freepass signs files & exports public keys in signify format!
      • TODO SQRL
    • Raw 256-bit keys for symmetric ciphers.
    • TODO BIP39-compatible passphrases.
  • Yes, all of the above is derived from your master password and full name, you can always recover it by entering the same data!
  • The generator settings (site names, counters) are stored in vault files:
    • Serialized into CBOR.
    • Encrypted with NaCl secretbox for each entry + AES for the whole file.
    • (Keys are derived from the master password like the generated passwords.)
    • Every time you save a vault file, its size changes randomly. That's a feature. Some random junk is added to make it a bit harder to count how many passwords you have without opening the file.
  • You can also store passwords and text in these vault files (for stuff that can't be generated).
  • You can merge two vault files (e.g. from sync conflicts).
  • You can import KeePass 2 (kdbx) files.

How?

  • Freepass is written in the Rust programming language and uses libsodium as the crypto library.
  • Very modular code, easy to audit.
    • You can separately check that the core library does everything correctly, and that the user interface passes your data to the core library, not to an evil server.
  • Some parts were written as completely separate Rust crates:
  • Completely free software: public domain / Unlicense.

Where?

Freepass is (going to be) available on different platforms:

  • cli: for UNIX-like systems
  • A desktop GUI and mobile apps will be available in the future.

Each version has its own README!
