Password Manager

Barebones password manager with absolutely no fancy features. By that I mean,

• No password generation
• No git integration
• No questions asked
• No grepping/finding passwords
• No clipboard support
• No tree view
• Does not ask for password input (reads from stdin)
• Does not check for 'sneaky paths?'

Supports adding/deleting/listing/showing passwords. I don't intend on implementing any more features. You can wrap this script with something other to make use of it. See the contrib directory for that.

Currently less than 35 SLOC. It's almost 20 times smaller than pass which has a little less than 600 SLOC.

To install run, as root if necessary

make install

You really do think that asking for password for twice blah blah is a really important feature? Okay, then add a function to your shellrc/profile like this.

pmask() {
    [ "$1" ] || return 1
    printf 'Enter your password: '
    read pass
    printf 'Enter your password again: '
    read pass2
    [ "$pass" = "$pass2" ] && {
        printf '%s' "$pass" | pm a "$1" && return 0
    }
    printf "Passwords don't match\n"
    return 1
}

You want to copy to clipboard? That's easy! You just need to do a pm s passname | xclip -sel c. You can still make it a function by doing this

copypass() {
    [ "$1" ] || return 1
    pm s "$1" | xclip -sel c
}

The whole rationale is that you can already do that with simple commands. Why complicate (and possibly break) things by introducing them into a single script? If you want some function that is a must for you, implement it yourself with some script or a shell function. This way, it works just as you intended it. Or use helper functions that are located in contrib.

You can install contrib scripts by running

make -C contrib install
