passpy

passpy has been written to be a platform independent library and cli that is compatible with ZX2C4’s pass.

passpy saves your passwords in gpg encrypted files and optionally uses git as a revision tool. All files are stored inside the directory given by the PASSWORD_STORE_DIR environment variable (~/.password-store if not set) and can be organised into folders. You can also just copy the whole store to have your passwords available where ever you like.

Installation

PyPI

Just do $ [sudo] pip install passpy

Arch Linux

The package python-passpy is available in the AUR for you to install however you like.

Manually

Either clone the git repository using $ git clone https://github.com/bfrascher/passpy.git

or download the source from the releases tab and extract it. Afterwards change into the new folder and do $ [sudo] python setup.py install

Dependencies

passpy depends on Python 3.3 or later (it has mostly been tested using Python 3.5). The program makes use of git and gpg2 as well as either xclip or xsel on Linux.

The following Python packages will be installed alongside passpy:

• gitpython
• python-gnupg
• click
• pyperclip

If you are on Windows and want colourised output on the command line, you will additionally need to install colorama.
