Password Manager

Simple password manager written in bash.
Inspired by https://github.com/drduh/pwd.sh
It uses GnuPG for symmetrically encrypting a csv database on the fly and copies retrieved passwords to the clipboard with xclip.

Dependencies

This script has the following dependencies:

• gpg
• xclip

Which can be easily installed with these commands:

• Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install gpg xclip
• Arch: pacman -S gpg xclip

Installation

Script installation is trivial, just clone or copy this script in some directory.

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/hydrastro/pwdman.git

And then either add it to your PATH or set up a bash alias for the script.
A bash alias is conveniente because you can directly invoke the script in interactive mode:

alias pw='/opt/pwdman/pwdman.sh -i'
# Or you can also set these aliases:
alias pwr='/opt/pwdman/pwdman.sh -r'
alias pww='/opt/pwdman/pwdman.sh -w'

There are some hardcoded configs you might want to change: the default database location, the clipboard clearing timeout and the alphabet user for random password generation.

Usage

The script usage is pretty straightforward: you can either run the script normally, specifying your parameters (usually the username on and optionally the database you're working on) in the command call:

./pwdman.sh -r username [database]
./pwdman.sh -w username [database]
./pwdman.sh -u username [database]
./pwdman.sh -d username [database]
./pwdman.sh -l [database]
./pwdman.sh -b backup file_name [database]
./pwdman.sh -x [database]
./pwdman.sh -c [database]
./pwdman.sh -m [backup] [database]
./pwdman.sh -n [import_database] [database]

Or you can run the script interactively with the i flag:

./pwdman.sh -i

Now you have to press a flag key to perform an action and the script will guide and eventually ask for inputs.

Database Structure

The database is just an encrpyted csv file with two columns: Username and Password.
It has a header with the column names and also its values are encoded in base64.
