Dependencies

The following non-standard dependencies are required for basic functionality:

pip3 install python-gnupg dulwich appdirs click

There are optional dependencies for some extra features:

To display passwords as QRcodes in the terminal,

pip3 install pyqrcode

To display passwords as QRcodes as images,

pip3 install pyqrcode Pillow pypng

To copy the password to the clipboard,

pip3 install pyperclip

And to type the password at the current cursor position.

pip3 install pyautogui

GPG

Like password-store, pwstore uses GPG encryption to store data securely. For now, you must set your recipient key in the environment:

export PWSTORE_KEY='0xA96895ACB7F4970C'

Examples

Create a new record

pwstore github.com add

Create an alias

pwstore github.com alias github

Add a password

pwstore github update password "$(apg -n1)"

Add some metadata

pwstore github update login_url "http://github.com"
pwstore github update username rpdelaney

Why use pw?

In most cases, you should use password-store. Overall, it is much more mature and feature-rich.

The main difference is that pwstore stores data in a json format, enabling you to store additional metadata such as username, login page URL, etc:

pwstore github.com update username rpdelaney
