passman

Password manager for Linux, written in Python 3. No external python dependencies are used. Passwords are stored in the following hierarchy:

-- Website name
	|
	-- user_1.enc
	|
	-- user_2.enc

This layout lets you store multiple accounts for one website. The inspiration for this project was , a shell script that encrypts passwords with the same kind of folder structure.

Dependencies

• gpg
• python3
• xclip

For development, it should be setup in a python virtualenv

• python3 -m venv env

Configuration

Create a config file in the base directory that you want to use, and name it config.json. Categories must be placed into the config file ahead of time.

This file can also be found in

{
	"username": "user",
	"email": "[email protected]",
	"store_path": "/path/to/dir",
}

If you want to run passman from anywhere, then you can:

• add the repo directory to the $PATH variable
• put it in a directory already in the path (/usr/bin, /usr/local/bin/, etc)
• make sure that the path to the config file (found at the top of the program) is set to the absolute path

Usage

• to save a password
  • ./passman.py -c website_name
  • you will be prompted to enter the username and password (it won't echo)
• to access a password
  • ./passman.py -u website_name
  • enter the number listed before the username
    • if you only have one account for that site, it will go straight to the password prompt
  • you will be prompted to enter your gpg password

Note: The default number of pastes for xclip is 3. This is required with chromium (only one that I tested other than firefox)

TODO

• add comments
• Make running from command line easier by adding flags and passing path to conf file
• Organize passwords into files by their corresponding website, and folders of general categories
• Encrypt and decrypt passwords with gpg (via os.system)
