Pwman3 is a console based password management application. I wrote the original pwman over 4 years ago, just before going to university. Over the 4 years I spent in university, the code fell into disuse, and I pretty much abandoned it due to time constraints*. I had almost forgotten it. Until a few days ago I went searching the web for password management software I liked. I found none so I wrote my own. The exact same reason pwman1 was written.
There was a pwman2 but it was never released. The code never reached a stage that was releasable. I could have called this pwman2, but I already had a pwman2 subversion repository and I didn't want to mess with it, so I just bumped this one up to pwman3.
Pwman3 is written in python. Pwman3 uses sqlite for storage and all data is encrypted when it isn't being viewed on screen. To install pwman3, you need the following packages installed (for Debian, others may vary):
python-pysqlite2
python-crypto
python-celementtree
Source and binary packages can be acquired from the download page. Although I haven't found any bugs in Pwman3 yet, I haven't used it extensively, so there may be many lurking. You are advised to back up your passwords regularly.
What's New in This Release:
A new PostgreSQL driver has been added.
Support for exporting and importing lists of passwords is now available, so it is now possible to exchange passwords.
There is also an experimental MySQL driver, though this is not fully supported as MySQL lacks INTERSECT, which is needed by pwman.
