Installation

pip3 install pwstore

If you want to clone and run it locally:

git clone git@github.com:rpdelaney/pwstore.git && pip3 install ./pwstore

GPG

Like password-store, pwstore uses GPG encryption to store data securely. For now, you must set your recipient key in the environment:

export PWSTORE_KEY='0xA96895ACB7F4970C'

Examples

Create a new record

pwstore github.com add

Create an alias

pwstore github.com alias github

Add a password

pwstore github update password "$(apg -n1)"

Add some metadata

pwstore github update login_url "http://github.com"
pwstore github update username rpdelaney

Why use pw?

In most cases, you should use password-store. Overall, it is much more mature and feature-rich.

The main difference is that pwstore stores data in a json format, enabling you to store additional metadata such as username, login page URL, etc:

pwstore github.com update username rpdelaney
