Overview

JPass is a simple, small, portable password manager application with strong encryption. It allows you to store user names, passwords, URLs and generic notes in an encrypted file protected by one master password.

Features:

• Strong encryption - AES-256-CBC algorithm (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA-256 is used as password-based key derivation function)
• Portable - single jar file which can be carried on a USB stick
• Built-in random password generator
• Organize all your user name, password, URL and notes information in one file
• Data import/export in XML format

Usage

Java 8 or later is recommended to run JPass. You can run the application from the command line by typing (the password file is optional):

java -jar jpass-1.0.7-SNAPSHOT.jar [password_file]

For convenience, batch/shell scripts are also available for launching JPass for various platforms (i.e. jpass.bat for Windows, jpass.sh for Linux, jpass.command for macOS). Please make sure PATH, or JAVA_HOME environment variables point to a valid Java installation.

Download

You can find the latest distribution package under the releases link.

Alternatively, for Windows, you can also download and install JPass using scoop:

scoop bucket add extras
scoop install jpass

For Linux, JPass is not available in a standard software package, but you can install it into /opt/jpass via the install.sh shell script (experimental).

How to compile

• Gradle: gradle clean build (preferred)
• Maven: mvn clean package
