Pwman3 aims to provide a simple but powerful command line interface for password management. It allows one to store your password in a SQLite database locked by a master password which can be encrypted with different algorithms (e.g AES, Blowfish, DES3, IDEA, etc.).

Pwman3 is a nice command line password manager, which is smart enough to use different SQL Databases (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL). Pwman3 can also copy passwords to the clipboard (on Mac and Linux) without exposing them, so you save some typing. Besides managing and storing passwords, Pwman3 can also generate passwords using different algorithms.

Nice Features in pwman3:

• 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!

To install pwman3 on Debian:

root@host:~$ apt-get update
root@host:~$ apt-get -y install pwman3

The user-specific pwman3 configuration file $HOME/.pwman/config has the following INI-style structure:

[section-name]
option = value
option = value
...

The following table describes the configuration options and their possible values as well as the section names where those configuration options are valid in:

Database URI examples:

• SQLite: sqlite:///path/to/your/db
• Postgreql: postgresql://<user>:<pass>@<host[:port]>/<database>
• MySQL: mysql://<user>:<pass>@<host[:port]>/<database>
• MongoDB: mongodb://<user>:<pass>@<host[:port]>/<database>

Upon inital start, pwman3 generates a new password database:

user@host:~$ pwman3
Please enter your new password:
Please enter your new password again:
Pwman3 0.5.1d (c) visit: http://pwman3.github.io/pwman3/
pwman>

The new password database is stored in the user-specific pwman3 directory, e.g.:

user@host:~$ ls -l ~/.pwman/
total 12
-rw------- 1 user user 9216 Sep 14 07:05 pwman.db

The following – partially synonymous – commands are available within pwman3:

Create a new password entry – node – in the database:

pwman> new
Username: username
Password (Blank to generate): 
[Repeat] Password (Blank to generate): 
Url:      http://www.bityard.org
Notes:    1st Test
Please enter your password:
Tags:     Web

List all nodes:

pwman> filter
Current tags: 
None

pwman> ls
    1. username@http://www.bityard.org          Web

Print a node by its ID:

pwman> print 1
Node 1.
 Username: username
 Password: asdasdasd
      Url: http://www.bityard.org
    Notes: 1st Test
Tags: 
 Web   

Filter nodes by a given tag:

pwman> ls
    1. username@http://www.bityard.org          Web
    2. root@                                    SSH

pwman> filter Web
Current tags: 
Web   

pwman> ls
    1. username@http://www.bityard.org          Web

Delete a node

pwman> ls
    1. username@http://www.bityard.org          Web
    2. root@                                    SSH

pwman> delete 1
Are you sure you want to delete 'username@http://www.bityard.org' ([y/N])?y
username@http://www.bityard.org deleted

pwman> ls
    2. root@                                    SSH
