Stymie

Features

• No need to remember another password, stymie will use the default GPG key.
• Create any number of key fields beyond the default username and password. For example:

username: 'derp',
password: '1234',
SSN: '123-45-6789',
securityAnswer: '1st Avenue'

• Since everything is stored in .stymie.d/, it's easy to port between systems.
• GPG end-to-end encryption allows stymie to be safely versioned.
• Generate passwords using Diceware, Sillypass or enter a custom password.

Security Features

• Uses GPG/PGP public-key cryptography to encrypt everything (even configs).
• Uses OS-level permissions-based access control so only the user can view and list any files created by the user.
• Encrypts using the --hidden-recipient flag so as to not include the recipient's key ID in the encrypted file.
• Optionally, asks to set $HISTIGNORE so stymie commands aren't stored in history [1].

[1] As an alternative to setting $HISTIGNORE, most shells by default allow for any command preceded by a [[SPACE]] to be ignored by history. Check the value of $HISTCONTROL for support.

Only Linux and OS X are supported. There are no plans to support Windows.

Installation

npm i stymie

Suggestions

• Use gpg-agent to save typing.
