CLIPassMan ^v4.0.0

Console Smart Password Manager

Terminal-based smart password manager with deterministic password generation. Generate, manage, and retrieve passwords without storing them — all from your command line.

Python CLI Zero-Storage Decentralized PyPI Cross-Platform

GitHub PyPI smartpasslib

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
Terminal Processing — all cryptographic operations happen in your CLI
On-Demand Discovery — passwords exist only when you generate them

Decentralized & Serverless — no central database, no cloud lock-in
No Password Database — eliminates password storage completely
Interactive Terminal UI — clean, centered text with visual framing
Public Key Verification — verify secret knowledge without exposure
List View — see all your password metadata in clear lists
Export/Import — backup and restore functionality with timestamped files
Bulk Operations — clear all passwords with double confirmation
Secure Hidden Input — hidden secret phrase entry via getpass
No Dependencies — only Python standard library + smartpasslib
Server Ready — perfect for headless systems and remote management

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 separately from verification
Local Processing — no data leaves your computer
No Recovery Backdoors — lost secret = permanently lost access
