gopass

gopass

Pass implementation in Go.

Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With gopass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities.

gopass makes managing these individual password files extremely easy. All passwords live in ~/.password-store, and gopass provides some nice commands for adding, editing, generating, and retrieving passwords. It's capable of temporarily putting passwords on your clipboard and tracking password changes using git.

Motivation

I love the ideas behind the original pass implementation, but I found that the codebase didn't match the simplicity of the design.

Project Status

This section was just added so that I could get an idea of where I am at.

gopass init

• Creates a folder and a .gpg-id file
• Support --path option
• Support multiple GPG ids
• Re-encryption functionality
• Should output: Password store initialized for [gpg-id].
• --clone <url> allows to init from an existing repo

gopass insert

• gopass insert test.com prompts for a password and creates a test.com.gpg file
• Multi-line support
• Create a git commit
• Prompt before overwriting an existing password, unless --force or -f is specified.
• When inserting in a folder with a .gpg-id file, insert should use the .gpg-id file's key

gopass show

• gopass show test.com will display the content of test.com.gpg
• --clip, -c copies the first line to the clipboard
• --clip, -c clears after a while
• --password, and --username options.

Accepted format:

<the_password>
login: <the_login>
url: <the_url>

gopass connect (or ssh)

This new command should connect to a server using an encrypted rsa key.

gopass ls

• gopass ls shows the content of the password store with tree
• gopass invokes gopass ls by default
• gopass ls subfolder calls tree on the subfolder only
• Hide .gpg at the end of each entry
• First output line should be Password Store

gopass rm

• gopass rm test.com removes the test.com.gpg file
• gopass remove and gopass delete aliases
• gopass rm -r folder (or --recursive) will remove a folder and all of it's content (not interactive!)
• Ask for confirmation

gopass find

• gopass find python.org test will show a tree with password entries that match python.org or test
• Accepts one or many search terms

gopass cp

• gopass cp old-path new-pah copies a password to a new path
• Dont overwrite

gopass mv

• gopass mv old-path new-path moves a password to a new path
• Dont overwrite

gopass git

• Pass commands to git
• gopass git init should behave differently with an existing password store
• Add tests

gopass edit

• gopass edit test.com will open a text editor and let you edit the password

gopass grep

• gopass grep searchstring will search for the given string inside all of the encrypted passwords

gopass generate

• gopass generate [pass-name] [pass-length] Genrates a new password using of length pass-length and inserts it into pass-name.
• --no-symbols, -n
• --clip, -c
• --in-place, -i
• --force, -f
• Prompt before overwriting an existing password, unless --force or -f is specified.

Note

• This isn't gopass.pw.
