Can I vibe code 1Password?
Password manager: vaults, autofill, secure sharing.
This is the one category where the honest answer is: please don't. A password manager's value is not the CRUD app — it's a decade of audited cryptography, zero-knowledge sync, breach response, and autofill that never pastes your vault into the wrong field. A vibe-coded vault is a single unaudited bug away from catastrophic loss, and you won't know the bug is there. Some software you buy precisely because you shouldn't build it.
Do not build a password manager. Instead, build me a local-only encrypted scratchpad CLI for low-stakes secrets (wifi codes, license keys — never passwords or recovery phrases). Use libsodium via a well-maintained library with a passphrase-derived key (argon2id), store a single encrypted file in my home directory, and support add/get/list/delete. Print a prominent warning on first run that this is not a password manager and real credentials belong in one. Include tests for the crypto round-trip and honest comments about the threat model.
Nothing, ideally. If you must scratch the itch, a local-only encrypted notes CLI for non-critical secrets — never your real passwords.
- Audited encryption and a security team on call
- Zero-knowledge cross-device sync
- Browser autofill that resists phishing lookalike domains
- Breach monitoring and emergency access for family
Because the failure mode of DIY here isn't 'missing feature' — it's 'every account you own, gone.' $3/month is the cheapest insurance in software.
A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
