SECURITY

Your credentials.
Your choice of vault.

Database passwords never leave your machine. Pick the storage backend that fits your threat model — and if you pick encryption, dbunk asks for the password on launch before any connection wakes up.

Encrypted SQLite
RECOMMENDED
Passwords are encrypted with a key derived from your master password and stored in the local SQLite vault. On launch, dbunk shows the unlock screen on the right — nothing decrypts and no health checks run until you enter it. Portable across machines if you copy the vault file.
OS Keychain
Hands credentials to the operating system's credential store — Keychain on macOS, Credential Manager on Windows, Secret Service on Linux. No master password to remember; the OS gates access (and may prompt you the first time per session). Best when you trust your logged-in OS account.
Plaintext SQLite
DEV ONLY
Stores passwords unencrypted in dbunk.sqlite. Zero friction — no unlock prompt, no keychain dialog — but anyone with file access reads them in cleartext. Fine for throwaway local databases; avoid for anything you'd be sad to leak.
