A command-line password safe.
sdb depends on xsel. If you are on a Debian-based Linux distro, you can
install xsel by typing:
# apt-get install xsel
You can install sdb straight from GitHub.
$ pip install -e git://github.com/gavinwahl/sdb.git@master#egg=sdb
To save a password
$ sdb add foobar.com
Password:
Username: bill
Password [blank to generate]:
Notes:
To retrieve that password
$ sdb show foobar.com
Password:
[email protected]
Note: The username and then the password will be put in the X clipboard
until you press enter or paste them. If you're not running X (or there is no
$DISPLAY), the password will be printed.
Alternatively, you can see all of the passwords you have stored by typing
$ sdb raw
Password:
('foobar.com', 'bill', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', '')
The show command will list several choices if more than one matches.
$ sdb show f
Password:
0) ('foobar.com', 'bill', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', '')
1) ('foofoo.com', 'bill', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX', '')

eval $(gpg-agent --daemon)
To use it everywhere, start it in your .xsession file.
