Pazzz is a stateless unix password manager. Instead of remembering password for every site, you just have to remember your login, site and your secret phrase. Pazzz will always generate the same safe password for the input data, that you will provide.
Right now the easiest way to install pazzz is to use gobinaries. You can use below command for your convenience.
$ curl -sf https://gobinaries.com/thinkofher/pazzz | sh
In order to install pazzz, you need to have installed go 1.14
compiler on your machine, have properly set $GOPATH
variable and $GOPATH/bin
path added to your $PATH
variable.
For example. If you are user and you are using linux machine with bash, you can add these lines below to your .bashrc
file in your home directory.
export GOPATH=/home/user/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
You can read more about $GOPATH
here.
If you meet the above requirements, you can simply paste below command into your shell:
$ go get github.com/thinkofher/pazzz
Let assume that your want to create an account on greatsite.com with your email [email protected]. Your secret phrase is s3cr3d. You can generate your password as below.
$ pazzz -secret s3cr3d [email protected] greatsite.com
oCgAgIeJ
And here is your password. Every time you will provide above data to pazzz, he will generate the same password. Everything you have to remember is your login, site and secret, which you should avoid sharing with anyone.
You can also use some extra options like, length of password or additional symbols.
$ pazzz -secret s3cr3d -len 20 -u -l -s [email protected] greatsite.com

As you can see, password have changed. So now, you have to also remember flags you have used, if you want to recreate password. But it is safer to use.
You can always check how to use pazzz with help flag, as in the command below.
$ pazzz -h
You can set this variable to your secret phrase, instead of entering it as a flag. It will keep your secret away from your shell history. Remember to do not keep it in your public dot files, because it will make your passwords vulnerable. The good way of storing your $PAZZZSECRET
variable is to export it from separate shell source file, that you don't share with anyone.
You can set this variable to override default length of pazzz.
You can set this variable to override default flags (uppercase and lowercase). Seperate flags with comma. This example value: "d,u,l,s"
, will set every flag to true.
