mpw 0.2

A Python implementation of the Master Password algorithm.

Master Password

This is a Python implementation of the Master Password algorithm by Maarten Billemont. It also comes with a command line interface that lets you compute passwords for your sites based on your master password.

Installation

This package requires Python 3 (tested with 3.4) and uses scrypt (you need a compiler for this) and click.

Installation with pip:

$ pip install mpw

Or better, use pipsi:

$ pipsi install --python `which python3` mpw

This app copies the password to the clipboard. This should work out-of-the-box on OS X and Windows. On Linux, mpw makes use of the xclip or xsel commands, which should come with the os. Otherwise run:

$ sudo apt-get install xclip
$ # or
$ sudo apt-get install xsel

Alternatively, the gtk or PyQT4 modules can be installed.

Binary executables (e.g., an installer for Windows) may follow.

Usage

$ mpw get pypi
Enter your name: Alice
Enter master password: s3cr3d!
Password for pypi for user Alice was copied to the clipboard.

$ mpw --help
