Passcards is a 1Password-compatible password manager for browsers and the command line.
It saves logins and other credentials in an encrypted store in Dropbox and enables you to access them from a supported browser (currently Chrome, Firefox or Safari) on any device via a web app or browser extension. The browser extension (currently available for Chrome and Firefox) can auto-fill login forms using saved credentials and quickly add or update logins.
Passcards uses the same storage format as the popular 1Password app and can be used alongside the official 1Password apps. (Please be aware that Passcards is not affiliated with the makers of 1Password, AgileBits, in any way and they cannot support the use of 3rd-party apps to access 1Password vaults)

Development
Local development requires Node.js 6.0 or later. To build the CLI and web clients, clone the source and run make.
git clone https://github.com/robertknight/passcards
npm install
make all
Tests can be run with:
make test
To run a specific test, use:
node build/modulename_test.js -f <filter>
Running the Web App Locally
The web client is a single page application. The Dropbox client keys in the source are configured to allow
the app to be served from http://localhost:8000/webui/index.html . You can set up a server for this locally
by running, from the root of a source checkout, python -m SimpleHTTPServer.
If you want to host the web app from a different location you will need to register your own Dropbox API keys from the Dropbox App Console. When registering a new app, you currently need to give it full Dropbox access permissions (though this requirement could easily be dropped if necessary) and enable the 'implicit' authorization flow.
