Ugh, you made me spend the 20 minutes it takes to spin up a new github account to share this (my existing one uses my real name and I don't really want to doxx myself that much. Not that it's a huge deal, my real identity and the "ninkendo" handle have been intertwined a lot in the past.)

https://github.com/ninkendo84/kenpass

I'm not saying it's perfect, there's some things I would've done differently in the code. It's also not even close to done/complete, but it has:

- A background agent that keeps the unsealed vault in-memory

- A CLI for basic CRUD

- Encryption for the on-disk layout that uses reasonably good standards (pbkdf2 with 600,000 iterations, etc)

- Sync with any server that supports webdav+etags+mTLS auth (I just take care of this out of band, I had the LLM whip up the nginx config though)

- A very basic firefox extension that will fill passwords (I only did 2 or 3 rounds of prompting for that one, I'm going to add more later)

Every commit that was vibe-coded contains the prompt I gave to Codex, so you can reproduce the entire development yourself if you want... A few of the prompts were actually constructed by ChatGPT 5.2. (It started out as a conversation with ChatGPT about what the sync protocol would look like for a password manager in a way that is conflict-free, and eventually I just said "ok give me a prompt I can give to codex to get a basic repo going" and then I just kept building from there.)

Also full disclosure, it had originally put all the code for each crate in a single lib.rs, so I had it split the crates into more modules for readability, before I published but after I made the initial comment in this thread.

I haven't decided if I want to take this all the way to something I actually use full time, yet. I just saw the 1password subscription increase and decided "wait what if I just vibe-coded my own?" (I also don't think it's even close to worthy of a "Show HN", because literally anybody could have done this.)
