Password manager

Manage credentials stored in AWS SecretsManager. All credentials used by PasswordManager will be stored in the /password_manager directory of your SecretsManager. Runs in a mocked AWS environment by default.

Setup

In terminal, run

• python -m venv venv
• source venv/bin/activate
• export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• pytest --testdox

then run password_manager.py using the version of python in your virtual environment.

Funtionallity

Authentication

Upon startup, PasswordManager will ask for your master credentials. Enter your username and password to enter the program. The default username is test and the default password is test. You can change these on lines 8 and 9 of password_manager.py.

Main menu

Choose between credential entry, retrieval, listing, deletion and exitting the program by entering the option's underlined letter and pressing enter.

Entry

1. Enter the credential name. This must be unique among the credentials stored by the Password Manager and cannot be "master_credentials".
2. You can now add a username, password and URL to the credential. To edit one of these fields, enter the option's underlined letter and press enter. All three of these fields are optional.
3. To save your credential, enter "s" and press enter. If a credential with this name already exists, you will be asked if you would like to overwrite the existing credential, or return to editing the new credential. After saving, you will be returned to the main menu.
4. Press "x" to exit entry mode without saving.

Retrieval

Enter the name of the credential you would like to retrieve. If the credential exists, it will be written to file credentials/credential.txt and you will be returned to the main menu. If the credential doesn't exist, you will then be returned to the main menu.

Listing

The names of the credentials stored by you using PasswordManager will be listed in the terminal. These are the the names which can be used in Retrival or Deletion mode. You will be returned to main menu.

Deletion

Enter the name of a credential to delete it from PasswordManager.
