pnd

A simple cli password manager in pure python

Installation

Run the interactive installer

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tomginsberg/pnd.git ~/.pnd
~/.pnd/install

sudo pnd add an interactive tool to add/generate new passwords
sudo pnd <name of password> prints the password with a matching name to the console.
sudo pnd ls prints of name of all saved passwords.
sudo pnd rm an interactive tool to remove passwords.
sudo pnd encrypt create an encrypted file named ~/.pnd/vault to store your passwords safely using Fernet encryption with a PBKDF2 derived key. This file is safe to back up to the cloud (e.g. google-drive or github)
sudo pnd decrypt read the ~/.pnd/vault into a json format that can replace your existing pnd file in case of data loss.
pnd generate <length> generate a secure password with a given length. Note that pnd add also gives you the option to automatically generate passwords.

Mac users can place the following function into their .bashrc/.zshrc file

pndc (){
  sudo pnd $1 | pbcopy
}

Linux users should replace pbcopy with xclip This allows passwords to be directly copied to a users clipboard via pndc <name of password>

To get the most out of pnd install fzf and add the following alias to your .bashrc/.zshrc file

alias pnds="sudo pnd ls | fzf | xargs sudo pnd | pbcopy"

Now pnds launches an interactive fuzzy search over all passwords and copies the selected one to your clipboard.

Use sudo-touchid to replace traditional sudo authentication with the Mac touch-id sensor.

Installation is simple with homebrew

brew install artginzburg/tap/sudo-touchid
sudo brew services start sudo-touchid

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/pnd
sudo rm -rf ~/.pnd
