loxodo-curses 0.32.4

A Password Safe V3 compatible password vault

loxodo-curses

loxodo-curses is a curses frontend to Password Safe V3 compatible Password Vault. A fork of Loxodo.

It uses external utilities:

• vim - to edit a record (using an anonymous file in memory)

• xdg-open - to launch a URL

• xsel - to copy to the clipboard

• dd - to fill a file in memory with zeros

To generate a password, just run the command “:read !pwmake 96” in Vim (pwmake is part of libpwquality) or “:read !diceware -d ‘ ‘ -s 2” (diceware) or “:read !pwgen -s 25” (pwgen).

Search string may contain word -#tag to exclude tag #tag from the search result.

The app includes a timeout feature that automatically closes it after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Security considerations

This code handles private key material and is written in Python. No precautions have been taken to lock pages in memory to prevent swapping. Also no attempt is currently made to securely dispose of memory that may have held private key material.
