## Goldwarden
2023-12-23 14:00:32 +01:00
Goldwarden is a Bitwarden compatible desktop integration written in Go. It focuses on providing useful desktop features that the official tools
do not (yet) have or are not willing to add, and enhanced security measures that other tools do not provide, such as:
2023-07-17 03:23:26 +02:00
- Support for SSH Agent (Git signing and SSH login)
- Support for injecting environment variables into the environment of a cli command
2023-12-23 14:00:32 +01:00
- System wide autotype
2023-07-17 03:23:26 +02:00
- Biometric authentication (via Polkit) for each credential access
- Vault content is held encrypted in memory and only briefly decrypted when needed
- Kernel level memory protection for keys (via the memguard library)
- Additional measures to protect against memory dumps
2023-08-21 20:10:57 +02:00
- Passwordless login (Both logging in, and approving logins)
2023-07-17 03:23:26 +02:00
- Fido2 (Webauthn) support
- more to come...?
### Requirements
2023-12-27 14:32:10 +01:00
Right now, Goldwarden is only tested on Linux. Somewhat feature-stripped builds for Mac and Windows are available too, but untested.
Autotype is currently implemented via the remotedesktop portal. This is supported on KDE and Gnome, but not yet on wl-root based environments.
