A nice command line password manager, which can use different database to store your passwords (currently, SQLite, MySQL, and PostGresql and MongoDB are supported).
Pwman3 can also copy passwords to the clipboard without exposing them! Besides managing and storing passwords, Pwman3 can also generate passwords using different algorithms.

• Strong AES Encryption
• copying of passwords to clipboard
• launching specific uri's with default browser
• password generators
• not really a user oriented feature. However, it guarantees the elimination of silly bugs: pwman3 is test driven!

If you are a concerned about security, please note: PWMAN3 is a very very basic software, which was designed to be used in a safe environment.

• If you are afraid that PWMAN3 is to weak for your needs ... and you still want to try it, here are a few recommendations:
  1. Don't store your Password Database in the Obvious place, and if your extremely paranoind store it completely away from your computer on a separate USB key.
  2. Use a HARD to crack password to encrypt your database!
• If you care, report bugs, and send patches.
• I would realy like you to use PWMAN3, so I could get feedback and more ideas, especially, if you know something about security!

Pwman3 requires the following debian packages:

python-colorama python-crypto xsel - to copy password to clipboard on Linux

Pwman supports Python 2.7-3.x.

To install from source:

$ python setup.py install

You can also install PWMAN3 using python pip:

$ pip install pwman3

Before installing pwman3 you need to install PyCrypto. To you can install PyCrypto with:

python setup install_pycrypto

When done, issue:

python setup install

If you are more picky then you can compile PyCrypto using the instruction bellow.

After you downloaded the source code of pycrypto and extracted it do the following inisde the source code direcotry:

C:\Temp\pycrypto> python setup.py build -c mingw32 
C:\Temp\pycrypto> python setup.py bdist_wininst

Now you should be able to run pwman3 on Windows.

On Windows 7 64bit:

PyCrypto builds with mingw gcc version 4.6.2. Note that you also need msys installed from mingw. The above setup commands won't work in the Windows command prompt. But they do work in the msys command prompt. You also need to edit the following file:

C:\Python27\Lib\distutils\cygwinccompiler.py

Before doing anything on this file make sure you create a backup! After that remove all references for ``-mno-cygwin`.

and after all that, if you a security minded person, who is capable of using a command line password: Do your self a favor and skip Windows. Try Linux\BSD*Nix OS.

## User Interface

1. When xsel is install on a Linux system, you can copy passwords directly to clipboard with the copy command.

2. The command 'open' will open the default browser if URL is specified.

3. An automatic 'clear screen' function is called after printing an entry in the database. The screen will be cleared after 5 seconds by default. However, this can be changed by changing the correct value in ~.pwman/config:

   [Global]
   ...
   cls_timeout = 10
   

   To disable the automatic 'clear screen' functionality set cls_timeout to a negative integer.

   [Global]
   ...
   cls_timeout = -1
   

• making a password from the numeric character and the alphabet character ([A-Za-z0-9]).

  You can add a parameter for making the password to the config(~/.pwman/config).

  For Example:

  [Generator]
  numerics = true
  

• Passwords can contain one of the following special signs:

  specialsigns = ["@", "#", "?", "!", '\\', "|", "$",
                   "%", "^", "&", "*", "(", ")", ":", ";",
                   "{", "}", "+","-"]
  

The config file must have the following option:

```
[Generator]
special_signs = true
```

• Individual password policy can be chosen with:

  Pwman3 0.6.0 (c) visit: http://github.com/pwman3/pwman3
  pwman> n {'leetify':False, 'numerics':True, 'special_signs':True}
  Username: username
  Password length (default 8): 12
  New password: Q1dab@7abcd5
  

• Default password length can be changed by:

  [Generator]
  default_pw_length = 42
  

• Copying password to X11 or Mac clip board:

• On Mac OSX systems copying utilizes pbcopy

• On X11 Systems Specify the path to xsel if you already have ~/.pwman/config

  [Global]
  xsel = yes
  xselpath = /usr/bin/xsel
  

  When launching pwman for the first time, it will try and look for xsel and write the configuration properly.
