A password manager for bash

Introduction

This started out as an experiment in password management for terminal oriented users. It has since evolved into a fairly robust bash function that I've been using for a few years.

If used on a linux, it takes advantage of both the primary and secondary X-clipboards, saving the login in the primary (middle mouse click) and the password in the secondary (ctrl-v) clipboard. On MacOS, only the password is copied to the clipboard.

After setting up, password retrieval is done in the form of

$ p somedomainorothergrep-ableentity

which will present you with a list of possible password/usernames to be copied to your clipboard.

Although some effort at MacOS compatibility has been made, I've only been able to test it on my linux, so feel free to give me some feedback.

Setup

The following steps are necessary for the function to work:

Create the file and directory structure

 $ mkdir ~/.password
 $ touch ~/.password/db.txt

Create a plain text version of your password database in ~/.password/db.txt. Entries in the database are assumed to be in the form of
```
 domain|login|email|comments|password
```
but most important is that the login is in the second field and the password is in the last field.
Encrypt the password file
```
 $ ccrypt ~/.password/db.txt
```
Add source ~/path/to/password.bash somewhere in your ~/.bashrc.

Dependencies

The function has the following dependencies that should readily be available in your system's package utility:

ccrypt
sed (hopefully not much longer)
xclip/pbcopy
