EasyPass uses Argon2id to derive a secure password from:
- Your easy password (e.g., "twitter-password")
- Your master password and secure password, save it on your mind!
~/.config/easypass/config.yaml- Configuration~/.config/easypass/passwords.enc- Encrypted passwords (AES-256-GCM)
- Master password is never stored
- Passwords encrypted with AES-256-GCM
- Uses Argon2id for derivation (GPU/ASIC resistant)
- Option to exclude similar characters for readability
