pwd.sh

Script to manage passwords in an encrypted file using gpg.

New! drduh/Purse is a fork which uses public key authentication instead of a master passphrase and can integrate with YubiKey.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/drduh/pwd.sh

Use

cd pwd.sh and run the script interactively using ./pwd.sh

• Type w to write a password.
• Type r to read a password.
• Type d to delete a password.
• Type h to print the help text.

Options can also be passed on the command line.

Examples:

Create 30-character password for gmail:

$ ./pwd.sh w gmail 30

Append q to create a password without displaying it.

Read password for user@github:

$ ./pwd.sh r user@github

Delete password for dropbox:

$ ./pwd.sh d dropbox

Copy password for github to clipboard (substitute pbcopy on macOS):

$ ./pwd.sh r github | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | awk 'NR==3{print $1}' | xclip

The script and encrypted pwd.sh.safe file can be publicly shared between trusted computers.

See drduh/config/gpg.conf for additional GPG options.
