Command line password manager

Usage

pwman3 [OPTIONS]

pwman3 --help

Overview

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.).

Options

-h, --help

Display help message and exit.

-c FILE, --config FILE

Read the configuration from FILE instead of the default ~/.pwman3/config.

-d DATABASE, --database DATABASE

When using the default SQLite backend, use DATABASE file path to read/store passwords.

-e ALGO, --encryption=ALGO

Use ALGO to encrypt data. Possible values are: AES , ARC2, ARC4, Blowfish, CAST, DES, DES3, IDEA, RC5. The default encryption algorithm used is AES.

-k, --convert

Convert old DB format to version >= 0.4. The database that will be converted is the one found in the config file, or the one given as command line argument.

-O, --output OUTPUT

Use OUTPUT as file path for the newly created database after converting.
