PWMan

A password manager written in shell script. The passwords are stored in a flat text file encrypted with OpenSSL.

WARNING
Every effort has been made to protect your passwords. Passwords are stored in environment variables. If your system allows the environment of one process to be read from another your passwords will be vulnerable. If your shell does not have the test and echo commands as builtins your passwords will appear in the proess table. Use this script with caution. Do not use it to store vital passwords.

If you find any problems or have any suggestions please feel free to email me at LoranceStinson+pwman AT gmail DOT com.

It is available as Gziped tar.
