Hey everyone! For a long time I’ve been dissatisfied with the complexity of using GPG to manage my passwords (e.g. with pass or gopass), and the cryptography of GPG has been aging poorly for many years. So instead I developed napa, a small CLI password manager with an emphasis on simplicity and security. The database format is designed to satisfy the security models specified in this paper and avoid common problems in other password manager formats. I’m about to release the first major version, but before doing so I’d love to hear if anyone has any feedback or comments. Thanks

It’d be cool if you can make a step by step guide on how tech savvy (aka those who are not technical or developers) people can use it.
Also, the tool is highly limiting seeing its Linux + Wayland only for now. I hope you bring this to homebrew for macOS too soon. Wish I could try it but only have access to my Mac right now - but from what I am reading, it appears to be a cool little app. I hope for others to “review” it.
Thanks, good point. On Linux, the easiest thing to do is to download the binary here and run chmod +x ./napa, and then the rest of the instructions in the readme will work. For Mac the only thing missing is clipboard support, which shouldn’t be hard to add (I just don’t have any macs for testing it on).

I hope you can update this thread so we all know when it is on Mac so we can try it then. Through homebrew would be ideal but I’m guessing that will indeed be the case?
Yeah I haven’t used homebrew in many years but that’s right.
