"github_readme_excerpt": "# gokey\n\n\n[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/cloudflare/gokey)\n\n## A simple vaultless password manager in Go\n\n**gokey** is a password manager, which does not require a password vault.\nInstead of storing your passwords in a vault it derives your password on the\nfly from your master password and supplied _realm_ string (for example,\nresource URL). This way you do not have to manage, backup or sync your password\nvault (or trust its management to a third party) as your passwords are\navailable immediately anywhere.\n\n###### example\n```\ngokey -p super-secret-master-password -r example.com\n```\n\n###### options\n\n - `-o \u003coutput path\u003e` - by default **gokey** outputs generated data to\n `stdout`\n - `-P \u003c/path/to/password\u003e` - path to master password file which will be used\n to generate other passwords/keys or to encrypt seed file (see [Modes of\n operation](#modes-of-operation) below, if no master password or master\n password file is provided, **gokey** will ask for it interactively)\n - `-p \u003cmaster password\u003e` - master password which will be used to generate\n other passwords/keys or to encrypt seed file (see [Modes of\n operation](#modes-of-operation) below, if no master password or master\n password file is provided, **gokey** will ask for it interactively)\n - `-r \u003cpassword/key realm\u003e` - any string which identifies requested\n password/key, most likely key usage or resource URL\n - `-s \u003cpath to seed file\u003e` - needed, if you want to use seed file instead of\n master password as an entropy source (see [Modes of\n operation](#modes-of-operation) below); can be generated with `-t seed` flag\n as described below\n - `-skip \u003cnumber of bytes\u003e` - number of bytes to skip when reading seed file\n - `-u` - **UNSAFE**, allow generating keys without using a seed file (see\n [Modes of operation](#modes-of-operation) below)",
