Rooster
Rooster is a simple password manager. It helps you save username/password combinations through a friendly command-line interface. Rooster runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Rooster is made available free of charge. You can support its development through Liberapay 💪
Features
Rooster has the following goals:
- it is easy to maintain so that it never becomes unmaintained, it has existed since 2015;
- it works completely offline by saving your password in a single local file;
- it stores username/password combinations, nothing more, nothing less;
- it can import/export passwords from and to 1Password/JSON/CSV;
- it can run on a wide range of operating systems.
Rooster protects your passwords with state-of-the-art cryptography algorithms:
- scrypt for key derivation (
n = 2^12, r = 8, p = 1
by default, customizable) - aes-256-cbc for encryption
- hmac-sha512 for authentication
