Manage your login credentials from the terminal painlessly.

Project description

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

`Passpie <https://marcwebbie.github.io/passpie>`__ lets you manage your
login credentials from the terminal. Password files are saved into
`GnuPG <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard>`__ encrypted
files into the Database Path. Only with the passphrase used to create
the pass database you can decrypt password files. If you want to know
more about how passpie works internally, check Under the Hood section.

Passpie console interface

Passpie is built with `Click <http://click.pocoo.org>`__ for its
interface, `TinyDB <https://github.com/msiemens/tinydb>`__ for its
database and
`python-gnupg <https://github.com/isislovecruft/python-gnupg>`__ for
its encryption using gpg.

Tutorials
---------

1. Diving into *fullname* syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Passpie fullname syntax handles login and name for credentials in one go
for faster adding and querying.

Structure of a fullname
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``login``\ @\ ``name``. Login is optional, however no logins means that
you can add credentials without login by passing only names:

.. code:: bash

passpie add @banks/mybank --password 1234
passpie add @banks/myotherbank --password 5678

Listing the database would show:

.. code:: bash

================= ======= ========== =========
Name Login Password Comment
================= ======= ========== =========
banks/mybank _ *****
banks/myotherbank _ *****
================= ======= ========== =========

2. Syncing your database
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dropbox
^^^^^^^

With Passpie database on default path ``~/.passpie`` and with a Dropbox
shared directory on path ``~/Dropbox`` v

.. code:: bash

# move your Passpie database inside your Dropbox directory
mv ~/.passpie ~/Dropbox/.passpie

# create a symbolic link to your shared .passpie directory on the default path.
ln -s ~/Dropbox/.passpie ~/.passpie

Google Drive
^^^^^^^^^^^^

With Passpie database on default path ``~/.passpie`` and with a
GoogleDrive shared directory on path ``~/GoogleDrive``

.. code:: bash

# move your Passpie database inside your Dropbox directory
mv ~/.passpie ~/GoogleDrive/.passpie

# create a symbolic link to your shared .passpie directory on the default path.
ln -s ~/GoogleDrive/.passpie ~/.passpie

3. Exporting/Importing Passpie databases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: bash

# export database to a passpie database file called passpie.db
# Command: `export`
passpie export passpie.db

# import database from passpie database file called passpie.db
# Option: `import`
passpie import passpie.db

4. Grouping credentials by name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Passpie credentials handles multiple logins for each name which groups
credentials by name:

.. code:: bash

# create john credential
passpie add jonh@example.com --comment "Jonh main mail"
#Password: **********

# create doe credential
passpie add doe@example.com --comment "No comment"
#Password: **********

# listing credentials
passpie
=========== ======= ========== ===============
name login password comment
=========== ======= ========== ===============
example.com doe ***** No comment
example.com jonh ***** Jonh main email
=========== ======= ========== ===============

5. Using multiple databases
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes it is useful to have multiple databases with different
passphrases for higher security. This can be done using ``-D`` Passpie
option.

Creating databases on a given directory (ex: ``~/databases``)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: bash

# create personal Passpie database
passpie -D ~/databases/personal_passwords init

# create work Passpie database
passpie -D ~/databases/work_passwords init

# create junk Passpie database
passpie -D ~/databases/junk_passwords init

Adding passwords to specific database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: bash

# add password to personal Passpie database
passpie -D ~/databases/personal_passwords add my@example

# add password to junk Passpie database
passpie -D ~/databases/junk_passwords add other@example

Listing passwords from specific database
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: bash

# listing specific databases
passpie -D ~/databases/junk_passwords

6. Configuring passpie with ``.passpierc``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can override default passpie configuration with a ``.passpierc``
file on your home directory. Passpie configuration files must be written
as a valid `yaml <http://yaml.org/>`__ file.

Example ``.passpierc``:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code:: yaml

path: /Users/jon.doe/.passpie
short_commands: true
table_format: fancy_grid
colors:
login: green
name: yellow
password: cyan
headers:
- fullname
- name
- login
- password
- comment

Options:

- colors: *[black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white]*
- headers: *[fullname, name, login, password, comment]*
- path: path to database. Default: *~/.passpie*
- table\_format: *[rst, simple, orgtbl, fancy\_grid]*
- short\_commands: Use short commands aliases as in ``passpie a`` for
``passpie add``
- true
- false
- show\_password:
- true
- false

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

Encryption
~~~~~~~~~~

Encryption is done with **GnuGPG** using
`AES256 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard>`__.
Take a look at
`passpie.crypt <https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/blob/master/passpie/crypt.py>`__
module to know more.

Database Path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The default database path is at ``~/.passpie``. If you want to change
the database path, add ``--database`` option to passpie. Together with
``init`` you can create arbitrary databases.

.. code:: bash

passpie --database "/path/to/another/database/" init

Database structure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

An empty database would look like this:

.. code:: bash

passpie --database /tmp/passpie init

tree /tmp/passpie -la
# /tmp/passpie
# └── .keys

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

.. code:: bash

passpie --database /tmp/passpie add octocat@github.com
# Password: **********

tree /tmp/passpie -la
# /tmp/passpie
# ├── .keys
# └── github.com
# └── octocat.pass

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

.. code:: bash

passpie --database /tmp/passpie add octocat2@github.com
# Password: **********

tree /tmp/passpie -la
# /tmp/passpie
# ├── .keys
# └── github
# └── octocat.pass
# └── octocat2.pass

or over `Twitter <https://twitter.com/marcwebbie>`__.

If you want to contributing with code:

- Fork the repository https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/fork
- Read the
`Makefile <https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/blob/master/Makefile>`__

Common issues
-------------

Running passpie init raises ``TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'binary'``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You probably have the unexpected ``python-gnupg`` package installed.
Passpie depends on `isislovecruft <https://github.com/isislovecruft>`__
fork of `python-gnupg <https://github.com/isislovecruft/python-gnupg>`__

To fix:

::

pip uninstall python-gnupg
pip install -U passpie
