passpie 0.2.2

# Passpie: Manage login credentials from terminal

[Passpie](https://marcwebbie.github.io/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](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard) encrypted strings. Use your master passphrase to decrypt login credentials, copy passwords to clipboard and more...


> Passpie is built with [Click](http://click.pocoo.org) and [Tabulate](https://pypi-hypernode.com/pypi/tabulate) for its interface, [TinyDB](https://github.com/msiemens/tinydb) for its database and [python-gnupg](https://github.com/isislovecruft/python-gnupg) for its encryption using *gpg*. Passpie is also inspired by great cli applications like [git](https://github.com/git/git) and [httpie](http://httpie.org/)

## Installation

### Dependencies

+ `[Linux, OSX, Windows]` [GnuPG](https://www.gnupg.org/)
+ `[Linux]` [xclip](http://linux.die.net/man/1/xclip) or [xsel](http://linux.die.net/man/1/xsel)

### Stable version

#### Using [pip](http://pip.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installing.html)

```bash
pip install passpie
```

#### On a mac you can install it with [homebrew](http://brew.sh)

```bash
brew install passpie
```

### Development version

The **latest development version** can be installed directly from GitHub:

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

## Tutorials

### Diving into *fullname* syntax

Passpie credentials are referenced by `fullname`. fullname syntax handles login and name for credentials in one go for faster adding and querying of credentials.

#### Structure of a fullname

Fullnames are composed of `login`@`name`. Login is optional. If you don't pass any login when adding new credentials, credential login will be replaced by a `_` character:

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

Listing credentials:

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

Since `login` is optional. You can query credentials using only name syntax, for example to update credential `@banks/mybank`:

```bash
passpie update @banks/mybank --random
```

Or even better, without using the `@` notation:

```bash
passpie update banks/mybank --random
```

### Syncing your database

#### Dropbox

With default path `~/.passpie` and a Dropbox shared directory on path `~/Dropbox`

```bash
mv ~/.passpie ~/Dropbox/passpie # move passpie db to Dropbox
ln -s ~/Dropbox/passpie ~/.passpie # make a link to the db
```

#### Google Drive

With default path `~/.passpie` and a Google Drive shared directory on path `~/GoogleDrive`

```bash
mv ~/.passpie ~/GoogleDrive/passpie # move passpie db to Google Drive
ln -s ~/GoogleDrive/passpie ~.passpie # make a link to the db
```

### Exporting a passpie database

```bash
passpie export passpie.db
```

### Importing a passpie database

```bash
passpie import passpie.db
```

### Grouping credentials by name

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

```bash
# add some credentials
passpie add jonh@example.com --comment "Jonh main mail" --random
passpie add doe@example.com --comment "No comment" --random
```

Listing credentials:

```bash
$ passpie
=========== ======= ========== ===============
name login password comment
=========== ======= ========== ===============
example.com doe ***** No comment
example.com jonh ***** Jonh main email
=========== ======= ========== ===============
```

#### Subgroups

Fullname syntax supports subgrouping of credentials by name

```
passpie add foo@opensource/github.com --random
passpie add foo@opensource/python.org --random
passpie add foo@opensource/bitbucket.org --random
passpie add foo@opensource/npm.org --random
```

Listing credentials:

```
$ passpie
======================== ======= ========== =========
Name Login Password Comment
======================== ======= ========== =========
opensource/bitbucket.org foo *****
opensource/github.com foo *****
opensource/npm.org foo *****
opensource/python.org foo *****
======================== ======= ========== =========
```

### Multiple databases

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

#### Creating databases

```bash
passpie -D ~/credentials/personal init
passpie -D ~/credentials/work init
passpie -D ~/credentials/junk init
```

#### Adding passwords to specific database

```bash
passpie -D ~/credentials/personal add johnd@github.com --random
passpie -D ~/credentials/work add john.doe@example.com --random
passpie -D ~/credentials/junk add fake@example.com --random
```

#### Listing passwords from specific database

```bash
$ passpie -D ~/databases/junk
=========== ======= ========== =========
Name Login Password Comment
=========== ======= ========== =========
example.com fake *****
=========== ======= ========== =========
```

### Passpie completion

You can activate passpie completion for `bash` or `zsh` shells

> Check the generated script with `passpie complete {shell_name}`.

#### bash

Add this line to your .bash_profile or .bashrc

```
if which passpie > /dev/null; then eval "$(passpie complete bash)"; fi
```

#### zsh

Add this line to your .zshrc or .zpreztorc

```
if which passpie > /dev/null; then eval "$(passpie complete zsh)"; fi
```

### Configuring passpie with `.passpierc`

You can override default passpie configuration with a `.passpierc` file on your home directory. Passpie configuration files must be written as a valid [yaml](http://yaml.org/) file.

#### Example `.passpierc`:

```yaml
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
```

#### Global configuration

##### `path =`

**default** ~/.passpie

Path to passpie database

##### `short_commands = (true | false)`

**default** false

Use passpie commands with short aliases. Like `passpie a` for `passpie add`

##### `genpass_length =`

**default:** `32`

Length of randomly generated passwords with option `--random`

##### `genpass_symbols =`

**default:** `"_-#|+= "`

Symbols used on random password generation

##### `table_format = (fancy_grid | rst | simple | orgtbl | pipe | grid | plain | latex)`

**default:** `fancy_grid`

Table format when listing credentials

##### `headers = (name | login | password | comment | fullname)`

**default:**

```
headers:
- name
- login
- password
- comment
```

##### `colors = (green | red | blue | white | cyan | magenta | yellow)`

**default:**

```
colors:
name: yellow
login: green
```

## Under The Hood

### Encryption

Encryption is done with **GnuGPG** using [AES256](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard). Take a look at [passpie.crypt](https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/blob/master/passpie/crypt.py) module to know more.

### Database Path

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.

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

### Database structure

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:

```bash
passpie --database /tmp/passpie init

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

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

```bash
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:

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

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

## Common issues

### `TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'binary'`

You probably have the `python-gnupg` package installed. Passpie depends on [isislovecruft](https://github.com/isislovecruft) fork of [python-gnupg](https://github.com/isislovecruft/python-gnupg)

To fix:

```
pip uninstall python-gnupg
pip install -U passpie
```

### `'GPG not installed. https://www.gnupg.org/'`

You don't have gpg installed or it is not working as expected

Make sure you have [gpg](https://www.gnupg.org/) installed:

Ubuntu:

```
sudo apt-get install gpg
```

OSX:

```
brew install gpg
```

### `xclip or xsel not installed`

You don't have copy to clipboard support by default on some linux distributions.

Ubuntu:

```
sudo apt-get install xclip
```
