Forgot My Password (FMP) is a password manager that safely allows you to generate, store, and manage your passwords in encrypted vaults. It uses GPG to protect your sensitive data.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- GUI: Intuitive and fast GUI
- Create Vaults: Create encrypted vaults to store your passwords.
- Modify Accounts: Add, delete, and rename accounts within a vault.
- Passwords: Generate strong passwords and estimate their entropy.
- Backups: Backup and restore vaults securely.
- Modify Account Info: Update account usernames and passwords.
- Encryption With GPG: All data is encrypted using GPG. Only users with the correct GPG key can decrypt the vault contents.
- No Plaintext Passwords on Disk: All sensitive information is encrypted before being saved.
- Sensitive Variables Cannot Be Written to Disk: Sensitive variables are not written to disk in any form except encrypted.
- Sensitive Variables Are Obfuscated in Memory: The program uses secure memory handling (Rust’s secrecy crate, memory locking) to prevent secrets from being easily read from RAM.
- Sensitive Variables Are Cleared from Memory: The program zeroizes (overwrites) memory holding secrets when they are no longer needed.
- Memory Locking: System calls (like mlock) prevent sensitive memory from being swapped to disk.
- File Permissions: Strict file permissions are placed on sensitive files.
- Recipient Verification: Encryption is tied to a specific GPG recipient.
- Cross-platform compatibility: FMP is available on Linux and Windows.
