(Why) is a toy password manager a too complex summer project?
I would say a toy (or personal-use-only) password manager is a relatively simple project. If we are to forget about the GUI parts, you need to determine serialization of your password database (bincode + serde should be enough) and how to encrypt it. For the latter you need only two algorithms: a password hash for deriving encryption key from password and optional salt (the latter is usually randomly generated and stored as a "key file"), and an AEAD algorithm for encrypting and decrypting serialized database. There are certain pitfalls with encryption (e.g. you should not reuse nonce with the same key, especially with modes like GCM) and with properly erasing sensitive data from memory, as well as preventing it from leaking to things like swap, but learning about those is part of the learning experience.

Announcing street-cred 0.1.1 - My first Rust crate
FYI: the rust-crypto crate is unmaintained. Take a look at https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs instead
-
Help using ring to decrypt encrypted bytes using AES key (using AEAD).
For AEAD with AES, you may want to use RustCrypto (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs.git) instead

Dexios - a secure command-line encryption tool.
Dexios is a secure command-line encryption tool, that uses audited crates provided by the RustCrypto Team.

Idiomatically initializing and using a variable with two different types
This is in relation to RustCrypto/AEADs#421 - myself and another user are having the exact same issue.

SafeCloset, a Secret Safe - Why and how I made it in Rust
I choose an AEDS crate from the RustCrypto group: AES-GCM in its SIV variant (the SIV variant isn't really needed but it doesn't cost much).
-
Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
Use RustCrypto's aes with one of its block modes (https://docs.rs/block-modes/latest/block_modes/) or AEAD algorithms (https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs). There's a lot of modular stuff in RustCrypto, just need to browse a little 😉.

What encryption crates do you guys recommend, especially one with support for streams
I'd recommend https://github.com/RustCrypto/AEADs. RustCrypto's crates are high quality, widely used and some have even been audited. Unfortunately they don't provide a read/write interface.
- How to implement a simple password-based encryption with ring?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sodiumoxide and RustCrypto you can also consider the following projects:
ring - Safe, fast, small crypto using Rust
rust-crypto - A (mostly) pure-Rust implementation of various cryptographic algorithms.
rustls - A modern TLS library in Rust
rust-openssl - OpenSSL bindings for Rust
orion - Usable, easy and safe pure-Rust crypto [Moved to: https://github.com/orion-rs/orion]
ed25519-dalek - Fast and efficient ed25519 signing and verification in Rust.
Ockam - Orchestrate end-to-end encryption, cryptographic identities, mutual authentication, and authorization policies between distributed applications – at massive scale.
rust-security-framework - Bindings to the macOS Security.framework
CheatSheetSeries - The OWASP Cheat Sheet Series was created to provide a concise collection of high value information on specific application security topics.
