sspwd – super secret password

A local, encrypted password manager with a built-in web UI.

Passwords are stored in ~/.sspwd/vault.db — fully encrypted with a key derived from your master password. Nothing leaves your machine.

Interactive UI to manage passwords

---

Installation

pip install sspwd

Requires Python ≥ 3.10.

---

Quick start

Web UI

sspwd serve

Opens http://127.0.0.1:7523 in your default browser. Enter your master password when prompted (a new vault is created automatically on first run).

CLI

# Add an entry
sspwd add

# List all entries
sspwd list

# Search
sspwd list --search github

# Show a single entry (reveals password)
sspwd get 3

# Delete an entry
sspwd delete 3

Custom vault location

sspwd serve --vault-dir /path/to/my/vault

---

Security

Detail	Value
Encryption	AES-128-CBC via Fernet
Key derivation	PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256, 390 000 iterations
Storage	SQLite (~/.sspwd/vault.db)
Key never stored	Only a random 32-byte salt is persisted

The master password is required every time you start the app. There is no "remember me" — the derived key lives only in process memory.
