Gamma Password Manager

Gamma is a simple, lightweight terminal password manager designed with the intention of minizing user excise to maximize the chance of it actually being used.

Account information is stored in a sqlite database (default is ~/.passwords.db) and encrypted with AES from pyCrypto. Comments regarding improving security are welcomed.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install .

Usage

Demo

Adding an account

gamma -c [ACCOUNT_NAME]

Creates a new encrypted account entry and prompts for needed information. If ACCOUNT_NAME is specified on the command line, it will be automatically filled in as the default in the prompts, otherwise the default will be empty

Listing all accounts

gamma

Invoking gamma with no arguments will list all accounts in the database and display an interactive prompt to select one to retreive.

Retrieving an account

gamma SEARCH

Gamma tries to match the SEARCH to any of the known passwords in the database. If multiple close matches are found, a disambiguation dialog will be shown, and the password for the desired account will be copied to the clipboard

Password generation

Leaving the password field blank while creating a new account will generate a random 32 character password and copy it to the clipboard when exiting.
