pympw is a master password generation tool that relies on the Master Password algorithm.
Setting up pympw is pretty straightforward.
$ git clone https://github.com/jedevc/pympw.git
$ cd pympw
$ pip install .
To install a desktop launcher, simply copy one of the .desktop files from `data/applications/' to a location that your desktop environment will read.
$ cp data/applications/mpw.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Running pympw is simple. Provide the commandline arguments that you need, and
then enter your master password when prompted. Here are a few examples using
the password hunter2.
$ mpw gen 'James Smith' github.com -p # generate a password
Master Password:
Site Password: "PiloCiwm9.Qupa"
$ mpw gen 'James Smith' github.com -p -c3 # generate a password with an explicit site counter
Master Password:
Site Password: "YipyMibf7'Yiwo"
$ mpw gen 'James Smith' github.com -p -t maximum # generate a maximum security password
Master Password:
Site Password: "cKnotHyu3)h04qiPZh1%"
If that's too much work for you, pympw can also create a prompt for you.
$ mpw prompt
Name: James Smith
Version (3):
Master Password:
----------------------------------------
Site: github.com
Template (long):
Counter (1):
Site Password: "PiloCiwm9.Qupa"
$ mpw dprompt
--> presents a dialog interface
pympw comes with its own built in help. To access it, simply execute the following:
$ mpw --help
For more information on Master Password, see here.
To setup pympw for development, simply follow the steps below. Note that there's no requirement to use virtualenv, I just tend to find it a lot simpler to manage multiple projects that way.
# clone repo
$ git clone https://github.com/jedevc/pympw.git
$ cd pympw
# setup virtualenv (optional)
$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
# install dependencies
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
To run pympw, execute python -m mpw with appropriate arguments.
To run the tests, execute python -m unittest.
- Key expiry for prompts
- Storage of site data
