Smart Password Manager CLI ^v4.0.0

Terminal-based smart password manager with deterministic password generation

Generate, manage, and retrieve passwords without storing them — all from your command line.

C# .NET CLI Zero-Storage Decentralized Cross-Platform

Decentralized by Design: Unlike traditional password managers that store encrypted vaults on central servers, Smart Password Manager stores nothing. Your secrets never leave your device. Passwords are regenerated on-demand — no cloud, no database, no trust required.

Zero-Storage Security — no passwords or secret phrases are ever stored or transmitted
Decentralized Architecture — no central servers, no cloud dependency
Deterministic Regeneration — passwords are recreated identically from your secret phrase
Metadata Only — store only descriptions and verification keys
Client-Side Generation — all cryptographic operations happen on your device
On-Demand Discovery — passwords exist only when you generate them

Decentralized & Serverless — no central database, no cloud lock-in
Smart Password Generation — deterministic from secret phrase
Public/Private Key System — 15-30 iterations for private key, 45-60 for public key
Secret Verification — verify secret without exposing it
Interactive Mode — menu-driven interface for easy use
Command-Line Mode — scriptable operations for automation
Export/Import — backup and restore your password metadata
Cross-Platform — Windows, Linux support
Hidden Input — secret phrase entry with asterisks masking

Proof of Knowledge — public keys verify secrets without exposing them
Decentralized Trust — no third party needed
Deterministic Security — same secret + length = same password, always
Metadata Separation — non-sensitive data stored in JSON file
Local Processing — secret and password never leave your device
No Recovery Backdoors — lost secret = permanently lost access

Validation Rules: Secret phrase: min 12 chars · Password length: 12-100 chars
