The second release of pwd.sh features many security and reliability improvements, and is a recommended upgrade. Compatible on Linux, OpenBSD, macOS.

Known Issues:

  • Newer versions of macOS error with tr: Illegal byte sequence - see issue #36

Changelist:

  • Passwords are now encrypted as individual files, rather than all encrypted as a single flat file.
  • Individual password filenames are random, mapped to usernames in an encrypted index file.
  • Index and password files are now "immutable" using chmod while pwd.sh is not running.
  • Read passwords are now copied to clipboard and cleared after a timeout, instead of printed to stdout.
  • Use printf instead of echo for improved portability.
  • New option: list passwords in the index.
  • New option: create tar archive for backup.
  • Removed option: delete password; the index is now a permanent ledger.
  • Removed option: read all passwords; no use case for having a single command.
  • Removed option: suppress generated password output; should be read from safe to verify save.
