About:
Keepassc is a command-line interface (CLI) password manager that interacts with KeePass version 1.x and KeePassX database files. It provides a secure, text-based user interface for managing credentials directly within the terminal. This tool is ideal for system administrators and developers requiring secure password access in headless or server environments.
Key Features:
  • Curses-based interactive terminal UI
  • Compatibility with KeePass 1.x and KeePassX formats
  • Secure password generation and management
  • Minimal dependencies for lightweight operation
Use Cases:
  • Managing server credentials via SSH sessions
  • Accessing password databases on headless Linux systems
  • Securely storing and retrieving API keys and tokens in the terminal
Alternatives:
  • pass – Standard Unix password manager using GPG and Git, whereas Keepassc provides a native GUI-like experience in the terminal.
  • KeePassXC – A graphical desktop application with browser integration, whereas Keepassc is strictly CLI-based.
