Source is available at GitHub.

You can install it directly from PyPI with pip:

python3 -m pip install --user pass2csv

Usage

$ pass2csv --help
usage: pass2csv [-h] [-b path] [-g executable] [-a] [--encodings encodings]
                [-o file] [-e pattern] [-f name pattern] [-l name pattern]
                store_path

positional arguments:
  store_path            path to the password-store to export

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b path, --base path  path to use as base for grouping passwords
  -g executable, --gpg executable
                        path to the gpg binary you wish to use (default 'gpg')
  -a, --use-agent       ask gpg to use its auth agent
  --encodings encodings
                        comma-separated text encodings to try, in order, when
                        decoding gpg output (default 'utf-8')
  -o file, --outfile file
                        file to write exported data to (default stdin)
  -e pattern, --exclude pattern
                        regexp for lines which should not be exported, can be
                        specified multiple times
  -f name pattern, --get-field name pattern
                        a name and a regexp, the part of the line matching the
                        regexp will be removed and the remaining line will be
                        added to a field with the chosen name. only one match
                        per password, matching stops after the first match
  -l name pattern, --get-line name pattern
                        a name and a regexp for which all lines that match are
                        included in a field with the chosen name

Format

The output format is

Group(/),Title,Password,[custom fields...],Notes

You may add custom fields with --get-field or --get-line. You supply a name for the field and a regexp pattern. The field name is used for the header of the output CSV and to group multiple patterns for the same field; you may specify multiple patterns for the same field by specifying --get-field or--get-line multiple times with the same name. Regexp patterns are case-insensitive.

Examples

• Password entry (~/.password-store/sites/example/login.gpg):

password123
---
username: user_name
email [e-mail]
url:example.com
Some note

• Command

pass2csv ~/.password-store \
  --exclude '^---$' \
  --get-field Username '(username|email):?' \
  --get-field URL 'url:?'

• Output

Group(/),Title,Password,URL,Username,Notes
sites/example,login,password123,example.com,user_name,"email [e-mail]\nSome note"

Grouping

The group is relative to the path, or the --base if given. Given the password ~/.password-store/sites/example/login.gpg:

$ pass2csv ~/.password-store/sites
    # Password will have group "example"

$ pass2csv ~/.password-store/sites --base ~/.password-store
    # Password will have group "sites/example"

gpg-agent password timeout

If your private key is protected by a password, gpg will ask for it with the pinentry program if you haven't set it to something else. If using gpg2 or the -a option with gpg, by default, the password is cached for 10 minutes but the timer is reset when using a key. After 2 hours the cache will be cleared even if it has been accessed recently.

You can set these values in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

default-cache-ttl 600
max-cache-ttl 7200

Development

Create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

Activate the environment:

. venv/bin/activate

Now you may either use pip directly to install the dependencies, or you can install pip-tools. The latter is recommended.

pip

pip install -r requirements.txt

pip-tools

pip-tools can keep your virtual environment in sync with the requirements.txt file, as well as compiling a new requirements.txt when adding/removing a dependency in requirements.in.

It is recommended that pip-tools is installed within the virtual environment.

pip install pip-tools
pip-compile  # only necessary when adding/removing a dependency
pip-sync

Packaging
