Password Safe

A command line application that can store and retrieve passwords from an encrypted file.

Based on 'Tutorial: Build your own password safe with Ruby!' at http://rbjl.net/41-tutorial-build-your-own-password-safe-with-ruby which won't run on my machine. So rather than try to fix it, I decided to build my own, with an actual attempt at testing/BDD. This was primarily done for my own education, tips/suggestions are welcome.

Currently implemented

NOTE This gem is currently in alpha, if you'd like to try it and make suggestions feel free but please do not store valuble information in it yet.

password add name password

Use passwordsafe to add a password with NAME to the safe. The utility will prompt for a master password to use to encrypt the file. Do NOT loose your master password, it is unrecoverable!

password change name password

Change an existing named password to this new password.

password generate name [--length]

Generate a new password with name, accepts an optional length argument.

password get name

Use passwordsafe to retrive an existing password out of your safe. The utility will prompt for a master password.

password list

List all the existing password names in the safe.

password remove name

Remove an existing password from your safe.
