mypwd 0.7.0

Very simple password manager for my python projects

Very simple password vault for Python projects.

I often forgot the passwords in my scripts and committed them to the repository. So I created a simple password vault so that it doesn't happen to me anymore.

1. Usage

1.1 Basic setup and usage

Install mypwd module.

pip install mypwd

Now you can use mypwd your project:

import mypwd

login, password, server = mypwd.get_values("mongo-dev", ["login", "password", "server"])

uri = f"mongodb://{login}:{password}@{server}/admin?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

When you run it first time mypwd creates vault in your $HOME directory and will ask you for login, password and server of your mongo-dev entry and store it in your vault $HOME/mypwd.json.

Here is an example of vault content:

{
  "mongo-uat": {
    "login": "appl",
    "password": "hS78#pbTgc#J.CQL",
    "server": "myserver-uat.com"
  },
  "mongo-dev": {
    "login": "appl",
    "password": "VacK>p3k3~t*c~RX",
    "server": "myserver-dev.com",
    "note": "Valid until end of month"
  }
}

Now you can access your secrets from python code and you will never commit secret anymore.

1.2 Keep your passwords safe and encrypt mypwd.json with GPG

You should store your passwords in encrypted file mypwd.json.gpg instead of in plain text file mypwd.json.

1. install GPG (if you are using GitBash probably you already have gpg installed)
2. create key-pair gpg --gen-key and assign it to your e-mail

Now you can encrypt your mypwd.json with your gpg key:

mypwd encrypt -e [e-mail]

and later on you can decrypt it back for some manual modification:

mypwd decrypt

2. Installation

Installation is simple:

pip install mypwd

or

python setup.py install
