## Goldwarden
|
|
|
|
Goldwarden is a Bitwarden compatible desktop client. 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:
|
|
|
|
- Support for SSH Agent (Git signing and SSH login)
|
|
- System wide autotype (Gnome, KDE only for now)
|
|
- Biometric authentication (via Polkit) for each credential access
|
|
- Implements Bitwarden browser-extension biometrics on Linux
|
|
- Support for injecting environment variables into the environment of a cli command
|
|
- 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
|
|
- Passwordless login (Both logging in, and approving logins)
|
|
- Fido2 (Webauthn) support
|
|
- more to come...?
|
|
|
|
The aim is not to replace the official clients, but to complement by implementing the missing features.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Flatpak
|
|
There is a flatpak that includes a small UI, autotype functionality and autostarting of the daemon.
