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.
