Passpie lets you manage login credentials from the terminal with a coloroful/configurable cli interface. Password files are saved into yaml text files with passwords as GnuPG encrypted strings. Use your master passphrase to decrypt login credentials files, copy passwords to clipboard and more...

Passpie is built with Click and Tabulate for its interface, TinyDB for its database and python-gnupg for its encryption using gpg. Passpie is also inspired by great cli applications like git and httpie

brew install passpie

The latest development version can be installed directly from GitHub:

pip install --upgrade https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/tarball/master

pip install -U passpie

brew upgrade passpie

# create a new credentials database.
passpie init

# add new credentials.
passpie add foo@example.com
passpie add bar@example.com

# add credential with random password
passpie add spam@egg.local --random

# edit credential "foo@example.com".
passpie update foo@example.com

# copy password from credential "foo@example.com" into system clipboard.
passpie copy foo@example.com

# search credentials by string "exam".
passpie search exam

# search credentials using regular expressions.
passpie search 'foo|bar'

# remove credential "foo@example.com".
passpie remove foo@example.com

# check database status
passpie status

# print all credentials as a table with hidden passwords
passpie

# specify other Passpie database. Option `-D` or `--database`
passpie -D /path/to/other/database

# shows help. Option `--help`
passpie --help

# shows version. Option `--version`
passpie --version

Usage: passpie [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Options:
  -D, --database PATH  Alternative database path
  --version            Show the version and exit.
  --help               Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  add     Add new credential
  copy    Copy credential password to clipboard
  export  Export credentials in plain text
  import  Import credentials from path
  init    Initialize new passpie database
  remove  Remove credential
  reset   Renew passpie database and re-encrypt...
  search  Search credentials by regular expressions
  status  Diagnose database for improvements
  update  Update credential

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

login@name. Login is optional, when adding new credentials without login, login will be replaced by a _ character:

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

Listing the database would show:

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

Assuming you have passpie database on the default path ~/.passpie and a Dropbox shared directory on path ~/Dropbox

mv ~/.passpie ~/Dropbox/passpie

ln -s ~/Dropbox/passpie ~/.passpie

Assuming you have passpie database on the default path ~/.passpie and a Google Drive shared directory on path ~/GoogleDrive

mv ~/.passpie ~/GoogleDrive/passpie

ln -s ~/GoogleDrive/passpie ~.passpie

# 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

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

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

# create doe credential
passpie add doe@example.com --comment "No comment" --random

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

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

# 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

# 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 specific databases
passpie -D ~/databases/junk_passwords

You can override default passpie configuration with a .passpierc file on your home directory. Passpie configuration files must be written as a valid yaml file.

path: /Users/john.doe/.passpie
short_commands: true
genpass_length: 32
genpass_symbols: "_-#|+="
table_format: fancy_grid
headers:
  - name
  - login
  - password
  - comment
colors:
  login: green
  name: yellow
  password: cyan

Options:

• path: path to database. Default: ~/.passpie
• short_commands: Use short commands aliases as in passpie a for passpie add
• genpass_length: number. Default: 32
• genpass_symbols: characters. Default: _-#|+="
  • true
  • false
• headers:
  • fullname
  • name
  • login
  • password
  • comment
• table_format:
  • rst
  • simple
  • orgtbl
  • fancy_grid
• colors:
  • black
  • red
  • green
  • yellow
  • blue
  • magenta
  • cyan
  • white

Encryption is done with GnuGPG using AES256. Take a look at passpie.crypt module to know more.

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.

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

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:

passpie --database /tmp/passpie init

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

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

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:

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

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

Feel free to comment, open a bug report or ask for new features on Passpie issues page or over Twitter.

If you want to contributing with code:

• Fork the repository https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/fork
• Read the Makefile

You probably have the python-gnupg package installed. Passpie depends on isislovecruft fork of python-gnupg

To fix:

pip uninstall python-gnupg
pip install -U passpie
