pysswords 0.0.8

Manage your login credentials from the terminal painlessly.

Pysswords: Manage your passwords from the terminal
==================================================

[Pysswords](https://marcwebbie.github.io/pysswords) lets you manage
your login credentials from the terminal. Password files are saved into
[GnuGPG](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard) encrypted files
into the Database Path\_. Only with the passphrase used to create the
pyssword database you can decrypt password files. If you want to know
more about how pysswords works internally, check the Under the Hood\_
section.

Installation
------------

### Stable version 

Make sure you have [GPG](https://www.gnupg.org/) and [pip](http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html) installed.

```bash
pip install pysswords
```

### Development version [](https://coveralls.io/r/marcwebbie/pysswords) [](https://landscape.io/github/marcwebbie/pysswords/master).

Mac/linux | Windows
----------|---------
[](https://travis-ci.org/marcwebbie/pysswords) | [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/marcwebbie/pysswords)


The **latest development version** can be installed directly from GitHub:

```bash
# Universal
$ pip install --upgrade https://github.com/marcwebbie/pysswords/tarball/master
```


Quickstart
----------

```bash
# create a new credentials database. Option: `-I` or `--init`
pysswords --init

# add new credentials. Option: `-a` or `--add`
pysswords -a

# get credential "github". Option: `-g` or `--get`
pysswords -g github

# remove credential "github". Option: `-r` or `--remove`
pysswords -r github

# edit credential "github". Option: `-u` or `--update`
pysswords -u github

# search credentials with the query "octocat". Option: `-s` or `--search`
pysswords -s octocat

# search credentials with the regular expression "example\.com|org".
pysswords -s example\.com|org

# copy password from credential "github" into clipboard. Option: `-c` or `--clipboard`
# this option have to be used with --get|-g option
pysswords -c -g github

# print all credentials as a table with hidden passwords
pysswords

# print all credentials and show passwords in plain text. Option: `-P` or `--show-password`
pysswords -P

# specify other pysswords database. Option `-D` or `--database`
pysswords -D /path/to/other/database -g

# shows help. Option `-h` or `--help`
pysswords --help

# shows version. Option `--version`
pysswords --version
```


### Grouping

Pysswords credentials can have multiple names which groups credentials with the same name together:

```
pysswords -a
Name: example.com
Login: john
Password: **********
Comment: No comment
```

```
pysswords -a
Name: example.com
Login: doe
Password: **********
Comment:
```

###### Output

```

| Name | Login | Password | Comment |
|-------------+---------+------------+------------|
| example.com | doe | *** | |
| example.com | john | *** | No comment |

```

### Fullname syntax

You can select grouped credentials by using fullname syntax `login@name`:

```
pysswords -g [e-mail]
```

###### Output

```

| Name | Login | Password | Comment |
|-------------+---------+------------+-----------|
| example.com | doe | *** | |

```


Under The Hood
--------------

### Encryption

Encryption is done with **GnuGPG** using [AES256](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard). Take a look at [pysswords.crypt](https://github.com/marcwebbie/pysswords/blob/master/pysswords/crypt.py) module to know more.

### Database Path

The default database path is at `~/.pysswords`. If you want to change the database path, add `--database` option to pysswords together with `--init`.

```bash
pysswords --init --database "/path/to/database/"
```

### Database structure

Pysswords database is structured in a directory hierachy. Every
credential is a `.pyssword` file inside a directory named after a credential group.

An empty database would look like this:

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords --init

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# └── .keys
# ├── pubring.gpg
# ├── random_seed
# ├── secring.gpg
# └── trustdb.gpg
```

After adding a new credential the database would look like this:

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords -a
# Name: github.com
# Login: octocat
# Password: **********
# Comments:

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# ├── .keys
# │ ├── pubring.gpg
# │ ├── random_seed
# │ ├── secring.gpg
# │ └── trustdb.gpg
# └── github.com
# └── octocat.pyssword
```

If we add more credentials to group github.com. Directory structure would be:

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords -a
# Name: github.com
# Login: octocat2
# Password: **********
# Comments:

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# ├── .keys
# │ ├── pubring.gpg
# │ ├── random_seed
# │ ├── secring.gpg
# │ └── trustdb.gpg
# └── github
# └── octocat.pyssword
# └── example.pyssword
```
