PWMAN3

A nice command line password manager, which is smart enough to use different SQL Databases (MySQL, SQLite, BerkelyDB).
Pwman3 can also copy passwords to the clipboard (on Mac and Linux) without exposing them, so you save some typing. Besides managing and storing passwords, Pwman3 can also generate passwords using different algorithms.

Installing

Pwman3 requires the following debian packages:

when using python 2.4

python-pysqlite2
python-celementtree
python-crypto

when using python >= 2.5

python-crypto

for nicer functionality:

xsel - to copy password to clipboard on Linux

To install:

$ python setup.py install

ikegam's function

• making a password from the numeric character and the alphabet character ([A-Za-z0-9]).

You can add a parametor for making the password to the config(~/.pwman/config).

For Example)

 [Generator]
 numerics = true

• Passwords can be l33tified similarly using the following. [Generator] leetify = true

• Copying password to X11 or Mac clipbord:

  • On Mac OSX systems copying utilizes pbcopy
    
  • On X11 Systems Specify the path to xsel if you already have ~/.pwman/config [Global] xsel = yes xselpath = /usr/bin/xsel

  When launching pwman for the first time, it will try and look for xsel and write the configuration properly.

Password leetifying

If you choose to leetify your passwords when generating passwords, e.g. leetify = true in ~/.pwman/config, password lengths may exceed the length chosen. This is because certain letters will be replaced with 2 or more characters. That is, if an initial random password was generated as : Murkahm1 it will eventually be set to: |\/|ur|<ham1.

 python -c'from pwman.util import generator; print generator.leetlist'
