What Hacker News says

It sounds like a lot of us have been making password managers recently. Here's one I made a few days ago: https://github.com/ojensen5115/pw/ It uses a file in your private Keybase directory as its datastore (so obviously depends on Keybase). As such, it eschews the need for its own master password (or more accurately, it depends on your previous authentication with your Keybase master password), and thus can operate in an individual-run basis. It could still use a decent amount of work (e.g. option to save a credential based on a randomly generated password, etc), but I've been using it myself recently and like it quite a lot.
