Cipher Vault: Secure Key Generator

Professional cryptographic tool with advanced entropy controls.

Cipher Vault: Secure Key Generator — Protect your keys, speed your workflow. Every developer, product manager, or security-conscious user knows the pain: creating strong cryptographic keys, API tokens, or one-time secrets quickly and safely — without accidentally exposing them in chat windows, text files, or insecure clipboard history. Cipher Vault solves that problem by making secure, high-entropy key generation and local key management fast, transparent, and browser-native. Install the extension and generate robust keys right in Chrome — no server uploads, no complicated toolchains, no guessing about entropy. What Cipher Vault does (high-level) Cipher Vault is a lightweight Chrome extension that generates, formats, and temporarily stores secure keys and secrets directly in your browser. Whether you need API keys, SSH key passphrases, encryption keys, or randomized tokens for testing, Cipher Vault creates cryptographically strong values using browser-provided entropy and presents them in safe, developer-friendly formats. It’s built for speed and privacy: generation and short-term storage happen locally, and you control how keys are exported or cleared. Key benefits (real-world impact) Generate production-grade keys instantly: Stop relying on weak, hand-typed secrets or randomizers with unclear entropy. Cipher Vault produces high-entropy keys in one click. Reduce accidental exposure: Keys are generated and stored locally, with clipboard auto-clear and one-click wiping to prevent leak through screenshots, shared documents, or chat. Save time in development workflows: Format keys for APIs, SDKs, environment variables, or .env files in your preferred pattern without switching apps. Improve security hygiene across your team: Consistent, strong keys reduce the chance of breaches and hard-to-trace incidents. Keep control of sensitive material: No cloud uploads — you decide when and how a key leaves your device. Core features One-click key generation — Create keys of configurable length and complexity (base64, hex, URL-safe, custom alphabets). Multiple key types — API tokens, symmetric keys, SSH passphrases, JWT secrets, UUIDs, and custom token templates. Entropy transparency — Use browser cryptographic APIs for secure randomness; see entropy source details in the UI. Formatting presets — Generate keys formatted as environment variables, JSON, or plain strings for immediate use in code or configuration. Clipboard management — Copy keys securely with optional auto-clear (set the timeout from 5s to 5 min) and a visible countdown. Local vault — Temporarily store generated keys in an encrypted browser-only vault for the current session; clear any time with one click. Export options — Export to .env or JSON files locally; manual export only — nothing is uploaded or synced automatically. Accessibility & keyboard-first design — Designed for quick power-user workflows and accessible to keyboard navigation and screen readers. Lightweight & performant — Minimal memory footprint, instant startup, and no background network activity. Use cases and scenarios Developers: Rapidly generate API tokens, secret keys for local dev environments, or securely seed configuration files during setup. DevOps & SREs: Create one-time tokens and temporary passphrases for infrastructure scripts without switching to a separate utility. Security-conscious users: Produce strong passphrases for account recovery, encrypted archives, or file encryption tools. QA and testing teams: Generate large sets of deterministic-looking tokens for load testing or automation while keeping real credentials safe. Students and educators: Learn about key formats and entropy while practicing secure credential generation in a safe, local-first environment. Privacy & security — what we do and don’t collect Cipher Vault is designed with privacy and security as the top priority: Local-only generation: All keys are generated in your browser using native cryptographic APIs and remain on your device unless you explicitly export or copy them. No key uploads: Cipher Vault does not send your keys or secrets to any server. There is no automatic cloud backup, upload, or telemetry of your generated secrets. Optional, opt-in telemetry: The extension does not collect usage or diagnostic data by default. If you opt in to share anonymous usage statistics to help improve the product, you can revoke this at any time in settings. No sensitive data or keys are included in telemetry. Clipboard safety: Clipboard copy actions are visible, and you can enable automatic clipboard clearing to reduce exposure risk. Transparent operations: You can inspect Cipher Vault’s permissions and settings in Chrome at any time. For users with strict compliance needs, all generation and storage can be restricted to session-only mode with one-click clearing. Who should install Cipher Vault Install Cipher Vault if you regularly create or manage cryptographic keys, API tokens, passphrases, or other secrets in a browser-based workflow. It’s ideal for: Software engineers, DevOps, and QA professionals Product teams and technical project managers who provision service keys Security-conscious individuals and small teams who prefer a local-first approach Students and instructors learning secure key management practices Closing — get stronger keys without friction Cipher Vault brings powerful, secure key generation to your Chrome toolbar so you can stop improvising with weak secrets and start using consistent, auditable, and private keys in seconds. Generate, format, copy, and clear — all from a simple, trustworthy interface that keeps your data on your device. Install Cipher Vault now and add fast, practical security to your development and operational workflows.
