This is a simple tool to manage the passwords while also keeping them safe.
We have a main interaction file /manager.py which have interfaces for generation, storage and retrieval of password data.
It is supported by python module /support in the same directory. It also generates a simple CLI to toy with the database.
/encrypt_decrypt.py: For locking and unlocking passwords database/dbManage.py: For store and fetch operations on database
In /data directory the key ./key.secret and the database ./passwords.sqlite3 are stored. For testing, other such pair is kept in /test_utils directory.
The /manager.py is designed in such a way that user can continuously store multiple data entries or continuously do searches. Also, if user wants an interaction with alternative store, fetch and generate, a descent CLI will be there. Also, whatsoever be the state of database before, after interaction with /manager.py is done, we get an encrypted database.
The usage helps for each of the following can be seen as follows:-
- First go to project root directory :
cd $PROJECT_ROOT/manager.py:python3 ./manager.py --help/support/encrypt_decrypt.py:python3 -m support.encrypt_decrypt --help/support/dbManage.py:python3 -m support.dbManage --help
The required libraries are given in requirements.txt. To download them while in project root, execute
python3 -r ./requirements.txt
Well as it's just a primary and simple system, there is very less protection of data though successful storage and retrieval
- The key is to be kept safe by the user. Access to keyfile will automatically allow someone to decrypt it if encryption is known.
- Damaging the encryted database file by modifying it may lead to permanent loss of data and same holds if keyfile is modified before decrypting.
