Secure Online Ansible Vault Encryption & Decryption

Need to quickly view a secret or encrypt a variable without installing Ansible? Ansible Vault Online is a free, secure, browser-based tool for managing Ansible secrets. It uses the standard AES-256 cipher (just like the CLI) to encrypt and decrypt your sensitive data instantly.

Why is this safe?

This tool runs 100% Client-Side. Your passwords and data never leave your browser. We use CryptoJS to perform AES-256 encryption locally. You can verify this by inspecting the network tab or even running this page offline.

How to use?

  • Encrypt: Paste your plain text (formatted YAML/JSON works best), set a strong password, and click Encrypt.
  • Decrypt: Paste your $ANSIBLE_VAULT block and password to reveal the secret.
