This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Passky on NixOS Latest. Passky is a free and open-source password manager that is available at https://passky.org/.
Before proceeding with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Before installing Passky, you need to update your system to the latest packages. Open up a terminal and run the following command:

sudo nix-env -iA nixos.passky
This command will download and install Passky from the NixOS package repository.
Once Passky is installed, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. Open up a terminal and create a new file with the following command:
touch ~/passky.conf
This will create an empty configuration file in your home directory.
Next, open the configuration file in a text editor and add the following lines:
[passky]
encryption = "aes"
password_length = 20
These settings will configure Passky to use AES encryption and generate passwords that are 20 characters long.
Now you can start using Passky to manage your passwords. To add a new password, open up a terminal and run the following command:
passky add <name>
Replace <name> with the name of the password you want to add.
To view a password, run the following command:
passky view <name>
