If we're talking about goalposts, lets also recognize the Motte and Bailey of initial claims of "20 years professional software engineer actually good password manager" to "hee hee toy project testing how LLms work not complete not even for personal not recmmond for others"

I don't think your password manager is good, and I don't think you think it's good either or you'd be using it.

I'm not trolling. It's way cheaper and faster to just clone an existing project if you want to mess around with making a password manager suit your taste.

My goal is to mess around with an LLM, not just to mess around with a password manager. If you read literally any of my posts in this thread without the intention of throwing shade, maybe you would have gotten that point by now. I’ve certainly repeated it enough times.

> I don't think your password manager is good, and I don't think you think it's good either or you'd be using it.

Lol I am using it now though. In the time from yesterday’s post to now I have an iOS app, an iOS Password Autofill extension, a Mac app and the existing Linux CLI and Firefox browser extension. Automatically syncs conflict-free between everything too, using a simple web server for sync. It now covers every use case 1Password did for me, and no, none of the “rust password manager site:github.com” results do any of this.

It was an experiment to see if the effort of vibe coding a password manager would be easy enough that it would be worth doing, and guess what: resounding success. Cope more.

I don't deny it. When I said "mess around with making a password manager suit your taste" feel free to append " while using and getting experience with an LLM". nothing changes.

im glad you're dogfooding your pw manager now. I'm glad vibe coding met your own standard of quality.

I will leave it as an exercise to you to think about all the edge cases and usability issues that have been solved in mainstream pw managers that you've never thought about. I hope you keep your LLM subscription active so you can fix them as they come up. And to keep up with updates from IOS and firefox as they come out.
