Pwd.sh Is a Command Line Only, GPG Encrypted Password Manager

Whether you are constantly at the command line at runtime, or simply prefer terminal windows to heavier applications, pwd.sh gives you the ability to manage passwords in a secure, encrypted local container. Of course, this is only available via the command line.

The above GIF shows how this works, but pwd.sh is very simple. The tool itself is simply a script that generates, opens, edits and saves password strings in a container that is encrypted and decrypted on command using GPG . You can open it on the command line, decrypt it with a master password, and from there you can use it to retrieve stored passwords, delete old passwords, write or generate new passwords, etc. Since the container is encrypted, you can even store it in your favorite cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and access it from multiple computers.

Of course, it doesn’t automatically fill in passwords in your browser or other login windows like some of our other favorites , but copy / paste works great after decrypting the container and it’s just as secure. Check it out at the link below.
