A lightweight, card-style account & password manager for Obsidian.
Store website credentials (title, URL, username, password) as cards in a workspace tab. Everything is encrypted locally with AES-GCM-256 — no plaintext ever touches disk.
Features
- Encrypted storage — the whole vault is encrypted with AES-GCM-256 using a key derived from your master password (PBKDF2-SHA256, 310,000 iterations).
data.jsoncontains no plaintext. - Card view — credentials are shown as cards: title, clickable URL (2-line clamp), username and password with per-field one-click copy.
- Password visibility toggle — show/hide each password.
- Add / edit / delete — modal-based editing, Enter to save.
- Change master password — re-encrypts the whole vault from the settings tab.
- Optional stay-unlocked — the derived key (never the password) can be cached locally per vault, so clicking the ribbon icon reopens the view without the unlock prompt. Can be turned off in settings.
- Reset vault — wipe all data and start fresh with the default master password
root.
Security notes
- The master password is never stored anywhere; it only derives the encryption key in memory.
- If "Stay unlocked after restart" is enabled, the derived key material (not the password) is cached in the app's local storage on this machine. Turning the option off clears the cache. Disable it if you share your OS account with others.
- If you forget the master password, the data cannot be recovered. Use "Reset vault" in settings to start over.
- Although
data.jsonis encrypted, it is still a credential vault — avoid syncing it to public cloud storage.
Usage
- Click the id-card icon in the left ribbon to open the card view.
- On first launch, set a master password (default
root, changeable in settings). - Use ＋ Add card to add credentials; each card offers copy buttons for URL / username / password.
Why another password manager plugin?
Unlike existing manager plugins with a three-column list UI, Account Card Manager focuses on a minimal card-grid view: open the tab, glance, click to copy. It is designed for quick lookup of a handful of daily-use credentials rather than managing hundreds of entries.
Manual installation
Copy main.js, manifest.json and styles.css into <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/account-card-manager/, then enable the plugin in Settings → Community plugins.
