Baccounts

Internet account (password) manager, with following goals:

• Secure: Manage secure passwords (secure = long and complex enough)
• SMALL: as minimal code required; ~ 1000 LOC for core functionalities
• Dependent on a few small libraries as less as possible
• Platform independent: work on Darwin, Windows, Linux or Unix
• Portable and readable, not breakable persistent data

Under following assumptions or limitations

• Trust Go standard library
• No GUI
• Only work with GnuPG 2.0 / 1.4 generated keyring files (PGP format; GnuPG 2.1 uses .kbx gpgsm format) -> Workaround below
• on gpg-agent error of pinentry

Workaround on later GnuPG key format

GnuPG >= 2.2 has a new public and secret key format instead of $HOME/.gnupg/pubring.gpg and $HOME/.gnupg/secring.gpg, while baccounts still reads secret keys from it (This is because Go openpgp module only supports PGP compatible format). But GnuPG supports exporting secret key to old format, like:

$ gpg --export > ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
$ gpg --export-secret-keys > ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg

• export-secret-keys
• Removal of the secret keyring
• Secring does not exist anymore with the latest gnuPG version

TODO

• update password (create a new one)
• Export to other devices that does not have secret keys (Android, other computers)
• how to share between devices like Android phone?
