| Keysire is a simple script I wrote to keep track of passwords. It will generate a random password for you (intended to be used as your master password, though a master password can be anything), but its really helpful in the way it keeps track of sub-passwords, used for the plethora of passworded accounts we have in the digital world and elsewhere. To recall a password, enter python "keysire.py -r <account name>". You will be prompted for your master password, and then for a key phrase. With these three components, Keysire will return the password for the account you requested. The advantages of using this system are that: 1) It doesn't store any passwords, for extra security 2) If someone obtains a password for an account you have, they only have one of many, and cannot use it to access other personal accounts 3) The keyphrase is an easy to remember extra layer of security. Of course, you can use Keysire any way you want, but this is the recommended and intended method. Happy passwording. |
