ACME::CPANMODULES ENTRIES

App::PasswordManager

A simple script that lets you add, edit, list, and delete passwords from the CLI. Passwords are stored in ~/.password_manager.json in a simple JSON object (hash) structure. Currently a very early release that still needs to be updated.

Pros:

  • simplicity.

Cons:

  • At the time of this writing (version 1.0.0) only the password hash is stored and returned, making this application unusable at the moment.

  • Password must be entered as command-line argument, making it visible from process list and shell history, unless you explicitly disable those.

  • Cannot add other fields to a record, e.g. comment/note, date, etc.

  • Usernames are not encrypted.

Script: password_manager

App::orgadb

A CLI to read entries from an addressbook file in a specific layout in Org format. This tool can be used to read from a PGP-encrypted addressbook file, and thus can also be used as a password retriever.

Pros:

  • Standard tool and format for the data storage (PGP-encrypted Org file, which can be edited with Emacs).

Cons:

  • Does not come with the functionality of adding/editing/removing entries. Use your editor like Emacs to do so.

Script: orgadb-sel

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
