Rust Password Manager

This is a simple password manager written in Rust. It allows you to manage passwords and perform various operations using command-line input.

Current State

Work in progress.

Prerequisites

  • Rust programming language
  • Cargo package manager

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Arne91/password_manager.git

  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd password_manager

  3. Build the project using Cargo:

    cargo build

  4. Run the executable:

    cargo run

Usage

Upon running the program, you will be prompted to enter a command. The available commands are as follows:

  • exit: Terminates the program.
  • load <database>: Prompts for a database.
  • close: Close the database
  • show: Show database
  • help: Displays a list of available commands.

Enter the desired command and press Enter to execute it. The program will perform the corresponding action and provide any relevant output.

Project Structure

The project consists of the following files:

  • main.rs: Contains the main entry point of the program.
  • json_db.rs: Defines the JsonDB struct and its methods for managing JSON databases.
  • process_commands.rs: Implements the ProcessCommands enum and its associated methods for processing user input.
  • utils.rs: Provides utility functions for getting user input and passwords.

Database

The program uses a JSON database (JsonDB) to store password entries. The JsonDB is in progress.

The JsonDB struct implements the DbEntryTrait trait, which defines methods for creating and reading entries in the database.

Password Input

To ensure password security, the program uses the rpassword crate to read passwords securely without displaying them on the console. The get_password function retrieves a password from the user.

Asynchronous Execution

The program utilizes the Tokio asynchronous runtime (tokio::main) to handle asynchronous input processing. It uses the select! macro to await user input or exit the program.
