A vibe-coded password-manager? Sure! where do i sign up?

It's also half-coded in Javscript, with a grand total of 881 unique dependencies (271 npm + 614 Rust; derived from 38 directly declared dependencies). What could possibly go wrong?!

I never thought about wanting an HN comment as a wearable shirt before, but this ones one I would buy. But seriously, I love Claude and building all sorts of projects, but something as crucial as a password manager is a little bit too risky.

  • Reminds me of letting an LLM generate a strong password in the first place. Very practical, very quick, no terminal commands needed! I'm sure some have done exactly this. But then you realise your password is always shared with your LLM provider, and it's not so random after all (unless it used tools).

  • I don't have an issue with a vibe coded password manager, LLMs are insanely good. The issue, atleast to me, is the UI is extremely low effort LLM slop. I'd have appreciated something native that was super fast.
