Installation

git clone https://github.com/drduh/pwd.sh && cd pwd.sh

Requires gpg. Install with brew install gpg or sudo apt-get install gnupg or build and install it from source.

Use

Run the script interactively with ./pwd.sh

Type w to write a password.

Type r to read a password(s).

Type d to delete a password.

Options can also be passed on the command line. Here are some examples:

./pwd.sh w gmail 30 to create a password for 'gmail' with a length of 30 characters. Append <space>q to suppress password output.

./pwd.sh r user@github to read the password for 'user@github'.

./pwd.sh d dropbox to delete the password for 'dropbox'.

Combine with other programs by piping output, e.g.,

./pwd.sh r github | grep github | cut -f1 -d ' ' | pbcopy to copy a password to clipboard on OS X.

The script and pwd.sh.safe encrypted file can be safely shared between machines over public channels (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc).

A sample gpg.conf configuration file is provided for your consideration.
