Pass password manager using Powershell

pass

Pass compatible Powershell module. It allows encryption of secrets using GpG in a directory structure that is convinient to put in a repository. Module works cross-platfrom.

Prerequisites

• gpg on the PATH:
  • Windows (using Chocolatey): cinst gnupg
• For advanced password generation install MlkPwgen module: Install-Package MlkPwgen -Force

Usage

First mkdir ~/.password-store. This is default directory and different one can be used by setting $Env:PASSWORD_STORE_DIR variable.

import-module pass

# Add secret
'omg so much cheese what am i gonna do' | Add-Secret Business/cheese-whiz-factory

# Generate password and add username and overwrite existing secret
"$(New-PronounceablePassword -Length 20)
Username: admin" | Add-Secret Business/cheese-whiz-factory -Force

# Show only first line of the secret (password) and set 45s to clipboard
Show-Secret Business/cheese-whiz-factory -Clipboard -FirstLine

# Show directory tree
Show-Secret

# Add anything
ps | out-string | Add-Secret ps

Both symmetric and keys encryption is supported. Add-Secret takes recipients via .gpg-id files in the password store or via $GpgId array. It can encrypt using public keys or with passphrase instead (via$Passphrase argument).

There is also quick and dirty pass function that implements the most basic pass syntax:

pass insert Business/cheese-whiz-factory  
pass generate Email/jasondonenfeld.com 15  
pass Email/zx2c4.com
