pass-rs is a program for managing encrypted textual data. Its primary use is
as a password manager, but its features permit other use cases. Contributions
are welcome, especially in the form of security testing.
Notable features include:
git clone https://github.com/Swarthe/pass-rs
cd pass-rs
make && sudo make install
To update:
git pull origin
make && sudo make install
To uninstall:
sudo make uninstall
``` Usage: pass [OPTION...] [TARGET...] Securely manage hierarchical data.
-c, --clip copy target item to primary clipboard instead of displaying -l, --list list the target's contents (root if not specified) -t, --tree display a tree of the target (root if not specified)
-e, --exact find exact match of target (default: fuzzy match) -d, --duration time in seconds to keep target in clipboard (default: 10) -f, --file specify a pass file (default: standard data file)
-M, --modify launch editing interface (respects '-e' and '-d') -P, --change-pw change the pass file's password
-E, --export output data in serial form -I, --import create a pass file from serial data (read from stdin) -C, --create create an empty pass file with the specified root name
-h, --help display this help text -v, --version display version information
Note: By default, the target item is printed to standard output. Targets are passed as dot-separated record paths. Passing a group as a target item implies its child item 'password'.
Example: pass -d5 -c foo.bar ```
Document encryption and security with links to further docs (Argon2id and XChaCha20Poly1305, best available).
Standard man page also with environment info etc., and advice to see it in help text.
document that we can configure with config.rs
document where the data is stored by default - XDG data directory - backups in [XDG data]/backup
The focus of this program (and what mainly distinguishes from other similar
ones) is on maximum possible security and strict safety, with usability and
performance as important secondary objectives. Unlike zx2c4's pass
[hyperlink], this program rejects the Unix philosophy for its purpose, as it
requires us to trust other programs in order to extend functionality. In the
context of highly sensitive data, we consider this an unacceptable breach of
security, and extra functionality is instead built into the program as far as
possible. pass-rs also includes crash / data corruption protection, and
various security measures to protect the data.
Document particularities of fuzzy matching to help users (docs) smartcase etc.
Rofi integration (optional and separate, see other similar implementations)/
Password generation maybe with real words etc so can be remembered (customisable).
Maybe include more metadata like creation date.
Distribute as statically linked (portable) binary, and as source with AUR.
Perhaps cross-platform (at least Unix/POSIX).
Possibly add to the Free Software Directory (we are gplv3)
