This tool uses Argon2id to derive your encryption key from your master password making brute-force attacks computationally expensive. So even if someone stole your passwords.enc file from your computer, they would not be able to read it without your master password. So if someone happens to steal your passwords.enc file from your computer you have bigger problems than them figuring out your passwords.

I plan to add more to this eventually like maybe a secure password generator or a TUI or something, but I don't have a list of things to add yet. Maybe after using it some I will come up with some stuff we'll see what happens.
