ppass

⚡ Fix for OS Windows available in version 0.1.4

Console password manager without storage.

Utility for generating private passwords instead of storing them for the paranoid.

What problem does it solve?

You get the opportunity to create strong and unique crypto-proof passwords.

This utility is especially for you if you don’t want to:

• Remember all your passwords
• Store them in browsers (like Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla FireFox etc.)
• Store them in password managers (like KeePass, LastPass и 1Password etc.)

Usage example

You go to the site "my-space.duck" and want to sign up

Run ppass and enter

> Type password: my-space andrei

Designation:

• "my-space" - site name
• "andrei" - a code word for easy memorization

site name + code word = master-password.

It is just example. You can use any text as master-password.

Your password:
> Type password: my-space andrei  #just example
✔ Type password … ***
Generated:
STRONG: /D^T+OaN^tYFJ@N!
MIDDLE: a2tpUfZlLq4DPSwF
LIGHT: UbFnnEmOZdsaOQxH

after that you go to the site "bank.duck" and want to sign up

> Type password: bank andrei  #just example
✔ Type password … ***
Generated:
STRONG: BrXr#&b)U-oeO!&X
MIDDLE: ujqyLJ0NLtt617Cu
LIGHT: NmUKuYwfwfjXPlas

back to "my-space.duck" and again:

> Type password: my-space andrei  #just example
✔ Type password … ***
Generated:
STRONG: /D^T+OaN^tYFJ@N!
MIDDLE: a2tpUfZlLq4DPSwF
LIGHT: UbFnnEmOZdsaOQxH

Wow! Magic! We again received the correct password for the first site!

Designation:

Migrate to another computer

If you want the ppass to generate the same passwords on another computer then

# run command
ppass -c
# select
> get token
# copy token (for example to USB flash drive as txt)

or

# run command
ppass -c
# select
> get token\'s path
# copy token file to USB flash drive

After then in new computer select set token

Additional information

If you'll lose a token, it'll impossible to recover your password!

If your token will be stolen, it'll too difficult to generate required passwords without your master-password!

If anyone finds out your master-password, they can’t generate similar without token

!imporant! Enable encryption of the user's folder on the computer

Moral: This utility generates unique and complex passwords from easy-to-remember master-passwords.

Get enjoy!
