# Pysswords: Manage your passwords from the terminal

[Pysswords](https://marcwebbie.github.io/pysswords) lets you manage
your login credentials from the terminal. Password files are saved into
[GnuGPG](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Privacy_Guard) encrypted files
into the Database Path\_. Only with the passphrase used to create the
pyssword database you can decrypt password files. If you want to know
more about how pysswords works internally, check the Under the Hood\_
section.

## Tutorials

### 1) Syncing your database

#### Dropbox

With Pysswords database on default path `~/.pysswords` and with a Dropbox shared directory on path `~/Dropbox`

```bash
# move your Pysswords database inside your Dropbox directory
mv ~/.pysswords ~/Dropbox/.pysswords

# create a symbolic link to your shared .pysswords directory on the default path.
ln -s ~/Dropbox/.pysswords ~/.pysswords
```

#### Google Drive

With Pysswords database on default path `~/.pysswords` and with a GoogleDrive shared directory on path `~/GoogleDrive`

```bash
# move your Pysswords database inside your Dropbox directory
mv ~/.pysswords ~/GoogleDrive/.pysswords

# create a symbolic link to your shared .pysswords directory on the default path.
ln -s ~/GoogleDrive/.pysswords ~/.pysswords
```

### 2) Exporting/Importing Pyssword databases

```bash
# export database to a pysswords database file called pysswords.db
# Option: `--export`
pysswords --export pysswords.db

# import database from pysswords database file called pysswords.db
# Option: `--import`
pysswords --import pysswords.db

```

### 3) Grouping credentials by name

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

```bash
# create john credential
pysswords -a
Name: example.com
Login: john
Password: **********
Comment: No comment

# create doe credential
pysswords -a
Name: example.com
Login: doe
Password: **********
Comment:

# listing credentials
pysswords

| Name | Login | Password | Comment |
|-------------+---------+------------+------------|
| example.com | doe | *** | |
| example.com | john | *** | No comment |
```

### 4) Selecting credentials by fullname syntax

You can select grouped credentials by using fullname syntax `login@name`:

```bash
pysswords -g doe@example.com

| Name | Login | Password | Comment |
|-------------+---------+------------+-----------|
| example.com | doe | *** | |
```

### 5) Using multiple databases

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


#### Creating databases on a given directory (ex: `~/databases`)

```bash
# create personal Pysswords database
pysswords --init -D ~/databases/personal_passwords

# create work Pysswords database
pysswords --init -D ~/databases/work_passwords

# create junk Pysswords database
pysswords --init -D ~/databases/junk_passwords
```

#### Adding passwords to specific database

```bash
# add password to personal Pysswords database
pysswords -D ~/databases/personal_passwords -a

# add password to junk Pysswords database
pysswords -D ~/databases/junk_passwords -a
```

##### Adding passwords to specific database

```bash
# listing specific databases
pysswords -D ~/databases/junk_passwords
```

## Under The Hood

### Encryption

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

### Database Path

The default database path is at `~/.pysswords`. If you want to change the database path, add `--database` option to pysswords together with `--init`.

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

### Database structure

Pysswords database is structured in a directory hierachy. Every
credential is a `.pyssword` file inside a directory named after a credential group.

An empty database would look like this:

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords --init

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# └── .keys
# ├── pubring.gpg
# ├── random_seed
# ├── secring.gpg
# └── trustdb.gpg
```

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

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords -a
# Name: github.com
# Login: octocat
# Password: **********
# Comments:

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# ├── .keys
# │ ├── pubring.gpg
# │ ├── random_seed
# │ ├── secring.gpg
# │ └── trustdb.gpg
# └── github.com
# └── octocat.pyssword
```

If we add more credentials to group github.com. Directory structure would be:

```bash
pysswords --database /tmp/pysswords -a
# Name: github.com
# Login: octocat2
# Password: **********
# Comments:

tree /tmp/pysswords -la
# /tmp/pysswords
# ├── .keys
# │ ├── pubring.gpg
# │ ├── random_seed
# │ ├── secring.gpg
# │ └── trustdb.gpg
# └── github
# └── octocat.pyssword
# └── octocat2.pyssword
```
