I have dozens of credentials to several websites. Re-using password across websites is no. Memorizing dozens of different password is also a no. The only way is to use a password manager.</p> <p>For so long, I&rsquo;ve been searching for the simplest possible password manager. I only need two criteria: plaintext and git-friendly.</p> <h2 id="why-plaintext">Why Plaintext?</h2> <p>Yeah, you heard that right, it has to be plaintext. But that doesn&rsquo;t mean it has to be stored as real plain text, where everyone or every machine can read it. That would be so wrong. What I mean is it has to be stored as simple text files, not binary. If you ever see the content of your public and private ssh keys, that&rsquo;s what I mean.</p>
