• The database won't be saved if it hits a bug, which could cause data loss (however I've fixed all the bugs I know of that could cause this, and it does save pretty aggressively, so as long as you hit save you should be golden)

• It has not been security audited, so keep your password database secure! (If you are a security person, feel free to look at the code and tell me how stupid I am so we can improve this).

• It currently lacks an ability to change the master password

• On Windows it does not prevent someone attaching a debugger to it and extracting the passwords from memory (it does disable ptrace on Linux)

I'm releasing this anyway because I'm working on other projects and just haven't got around to addressing these issues. Despite these, it is a useful password manager, just beware the warnings!

• Runs in a terminal with curses

• Written in Python

• Cross platform. Runs on Linux, Windows, WSL1/2, cygwin, Mac, and even Android under Termux, and probably anywhere else you can run Python.

• Keeps a history of the password entries so you can look back in time to see what passwords you used to use with Ctrl+p, Ctrl+n.

• Smart multi-platform Clipboard integration. Copies the username field, then (on supported platforms) as soon as that has been pasted it will AUTOMATICALLY copy the password field, then once that is pasted it will automatically clear the clipboard! Just yank, paste, paste :)

• Database format is designed specifically to make it easy to edit on multiple devices and synchronise the changes with external tools (personally I have my database in git). Each entry is one line, just concatenate the unique lines of two diverged databases together and it will be merged. Even copes with the same entry being edited - whichever has the newest timestamp will be the current entry, and the other will be in the history.

• All fields are considered equally secure and the contents is hidden until explicitly revealed.

• No limitations on what fields can be added to a password entry.

• Ability to log into an SSH server and update the password (this is not fully implemented in the UI yet, but the functionality is there by using a specially named HACK_SSH_name field with the contents set to username@host)

• Ability to record the actions necessary to change a password on an arbitrary web service and play it back next time you update your password. (Note: This is a bit of a hack at the moment and is not fully integrated into the UI. Use the 'Record HTTP password change script' to record a new script, then play it back by highlighting it and pressing S. The old password needs to be in another field called 'OldPassword' - another hack, once this feature is complete it will automatically get the old password from the history)

• Two Factor Authentication (Time-based one-time password) support that will automatically handle any fields following the otpauth:// URI format (typically imported via QR codes intended for Authenticator apps), allowing the 2FA codes to be copied to the clipboard or displayed like other authenticator apps.

• QR Code import/export, particularly useful for importing 2FA QR codes from the clipboard. (Note that this does not yet support importing from other Authenticator apps, only the initial 2FA provisioning QR Codes are supported)

• /: Search for entry

• n: New entry

• e: Edit highlighted entry

• :q : quit

• Enter: Reveal passwords. If used on the left pane it will reveal all fields for the highlighted entry, if used in the right pane it will reveal only the highlighted field.

• Ctrl+R: Reveal the contents of a field currently being edited.

• y: Copy entry to clipboard. If used in the left pane it will first copy the username field, then the password field. If used in the right pane it will copy the highlighted field.

• Shift+Y: Copy entry to clipboard in dumb mode. For when you need to paste the entry several times, or when dealing with an application / Operating system that just doesn't handle the smart clipboard support well.

• g: Open web browser to the URL field of the currently highlighted entry.

• Ctrl+g: Call out to pwgen to generate a random password in the field currently being edited.

• Ctrl+p: Show previous entry in history (use from left pane)

• Ctrl+n: Show next entry in history (use from left pane)

• S: Run highlighted SSH / HTTP password change script (note - this is a temporary hack until this feature is properly integrated into the UI)

• q: Display selected entry as a QR Code (typically for exporting 2FA entries to authenticator apps)

• :set pause : Freeze the count down timer for cases where you need the password manager to remain open and unlocked for an extended time. Not recommended, use at your own risk and make sure you manually close it when you are done.
