pw

pw is a command-line tool designed for secure password management. pw ensures the secure storage of passwords and offers functionalities for generating strong passwords, retrieving stored passwords, and checking if your passwords have been compromised in known data breaches.

Features

• Set Password: Securely store a new password under a specified key. If the key exists, its password will be overwritten.
• Get Password: Retrieve and display the password stored under a specified key.
• Analyze Password: Check if the password(s) stored under the specified key (or all passwords if no key is provided) have been compromised in known data breaches using the "Have I Been Pwned" API.
• Generate Password: Generate a strong, random password of a specified length. The generated password is displayed but not stored automatically; use the 'set' command to store it if desired.
