gpgpass

gpgpass is a password simple command line password manager written in python. It encrypts the passwords using gpg and stores them in a file.

Installation

I recommend to use python 3 although it is not required. Python 2 works as well but command aliases are not supported. Clone the repository and either install the dependencies:

$ virtualenv env
$ . ./env/bin/activate
$ python setup.py -e .

and run it local

$ python -m gpgpass

or install it globally (more convenient and recommended)

$ python[3] setup.py install

this also installs a script so your can run gpgpass like this:

$ gpgpass

Usage

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p                    interactively ask for the passphrase
  --passphrase PASSPHRASE
                        your key's passphrase
  -H HOMEDIR, --homedir HOMEDIR
                        path to your pgp home directory (the directory which
                        contains the keyrings), default is "~/.gnupg"
  -f FILE, --file FILE  path to the password file, default is "~/.gpgpass"
  -k KEY_ID, --key_id KEY_ID
                        fingerprint of your gpg key, this will override the
                        fingerprint specified in "~/.gpgpass_id"

commands:
  tells gpgpass what to do

  {store,s,retrieve,r,delete,d,list,l}
    store (s)           store a new password to the password safe
    retrieve (r)        retrieve a password
    delete (d)          delete a password from the safe
    list (l)            print a list of all password names

Since your gpg key's fingerprint normally does not change, you can put it into the ~/.gpgpass_id file.

Dependencies

• gnupg
• pyperclip (for copying passwords into the clipboard)
