Before launching the application, ensure the reader is plugged in. If a card is not inserted in the reader before launching the application, the application will ask you to insert your card.
Simply unzip passvault.zip, open your system command-line interpreter, go to the
unzipped directory and type: gem install passvault-0.1.0.gem (you might need
sudo in front of that).
Our password vault comes with two different user interfaces. One is a command line interface and the other is graphical interface. Everyone can use the command line interface, but it is the only way to run administration commands.
The user interfaces are provided with a timeout system that requires the user to re-type its password every five minutes. This mechanism allows to prevent a potential attacker to access the vault content if the user is away and forgets to close the application properly.
Before launching one of the the application, ensure the reader is plugged in. If a card is not inserted in the reader before launching the application, the application will ask you to insert your card.

Note: the graphical user interface does not seem to work on Linux.
Using our GUI is quite straightforward: when the interface is launched, the user is prompted to type its vault password.

The user simply has to double-click on an entry name to consult the associated password and login.
