  • summon

    CLI that provides on-demand secrets access for common DevOps tools

  • I've used a tool from CyberArk called Summon that injects credentials into environment variables only accessible to the application it calls or docker containers. It integrates with several cloud and local password managers. It's working well for me.

  • gopass

    The slightly more awesome standard unix password manager for teams

  • There's also gopass which is a slightly more feature-rich version of pass.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • pass-import

    A pass extension for importing data from most existing password managers

  • a bash script can provide what you want -- take a look at pass, available on pretty much every linux distro (website is https://www.passwordstore.org/)
