pswrd is a simple password management util. It doesn't store passwords anywhere, generating output on the fly.

There is also GUI version with Android support.

Why this wheel was reinvented? Well, I needed a simple util which doesn't require syncing data between devices.

Calling without -simple arg will run in advanced mode prompting for master password, user name, domain and password version. These info may be passed in args -password, -user, -domain and -version accordingly. "Version" is password version. Default value is "1", increase it when you want make new password for requested the same user+domain pair.

Example:

pswrd -password 'my master password' -user 'username' -domain 'facebook.com' -version 2

Output:

V5YVTe8Au7oeDn2pVcCq

Or same in interactive mode:

user@computer:/tmp $ pswrd
Enter master password:
Enter user name (default: empty): username
Enter service name (usually domain name): facebook.com
Enter password version (default: 1): 2

V5YVTe8Au7oeDn2pVcCq

Output password string will also be placed to the clipboard if xclip util is available and -nc arg not specified.

There is also simple mode:

pswrd -simple 'any string'

Simple mode. Generate password based on input string. Ommiting 'any string' will prompt for input. Example:

pswrd -simple 'https://github.com/username'

Output:

cNq3nZfjC5rNFl2ri6RN

You can also supply a file instead of a string:

pswrd -file ~/picture.png

Note that -file mode doesn't support master password and version.

-alnum allows alphanumeric chars only in output.

-random generates random string.

Just copy the script to any path you will run it from (/usr/local/bin for example).
