- PWDS is a local, light weight command line encrypted password storage system with different actions and preferences avaliable
- The entire program started with a little summer project and I never thought it would develop into a large-scale project 😈
- The whole program is built on python3
- PWDS creates a database and allows you to change different attributes of it.
- Regular backup will be done.
- Cleverly uses clear screen function so that your passwords will not be kept on the terminal screen
- Even if you mess up, there will be a backup to save your day! Import backups are now avaliable!
- As its name suggests, you probably entered the wrong password.
- As for extra security, we do not allow 'try agains'
we are just being mean - The occurance of wrong password entering will not affect your database! However, we will record every single attempt to login if 'Log login' preference is set to true
Python version: 3.6 or above!(usage of f string)
pip modules: pyperclip, readchar
In terminal, cd into directory,
type python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
For unix machines you can

chmod +x PWDS
./PWDS
If you want to build from source you can also do the following:
clone this website
cd into the git directory

Any randon quits should be a product of an error.
Please enable the verbose function if a problem occurs and tell me in the issues!
