About:
Gokey is a minimal, vaultless password manager written in Go. It generates unique, deterministic passwords for each domain based on a single master password, eliminating the need to store password databases. This approach provides a portable and secure method for managing credentials without relying on cloud services or local vault files.
Key Features:
  • Vaultless and stateless password generation
  • Deterministic algorithm based on master password and domain
  • CLI tool written in Go for cross-platform use
  • No storage of sensitive data required
  • Simple and minimal codebase
Use Cases:
  • Generating unique passwords for websites without storing them
  • Managing credentials across multiple devices
  • Offline password management without cloud dependencies
Alternatives:
  • pass – Stores encrypted passwords in files; requires GPG and a file system
  • Bitwarden – Feature-rich vault with cloud sync; requires trusting a provider or self-hosting
  • KeePassXC – Local encrypted database file; requires file synchronization across devices
