## What it is
lastpass-cli is an official command line interface to the LastPass password manager, written in C. It lets users log in, list, add, edit, copy, and sync vault credentials from the terminal on GNU/Linux, macOS, and Cygwin.

## Use cases
- access lastpass passwords from the terminal
- fetch a password in a shell script
- copy a vault credential to the clipboard from the command line
- manage lastpass vault entries without the browser
- script password retrieval for automation
- list and edit lastpass notes from cli

## When to choose
- you use LastPass and want terminal or scripted access to your vault
- you need to inject credentials into shell scripts or CI jobs
- you prefer a lightweight C tool over browser extensions

## When to avoid
- you don't use LastPass as your password manager
- you want a fully offline, self-hosted password store like pass or KeePassXC
- you need a GUI password manager experience
