Secure Offline Password Locker - DedSpace - 11-13-2020

I found this open source offline password locker on github. It looks secure enough to me. The first time you use it, you should run:

Code:
python gPass.py -e

Which encrypts the locker.txt file. You choose a password and then it hashes that using the SHA256 hashing algorithm and creates a key compatible with Fernet from the cryptography library for python. Then you can add passwords to it and corresponding website names and decrypt the file. it looks like the decrypted file is never written onto the disk so all you will have to do is close the terminal window when you are done. The guy said he hasn't tested it on Linux but I have and it works, however I did have to specify Python 3, which he did say it is for.

Enjoy Biggrin

You can't go wrong with open-source.

I just need to get Python up and running.
Appreciated.

That's exactly what I thought. After reading the source, I was happy that this does what it says on the tin and nothing else.

It's even better when I read positive feedback based on first-hand experience- yourself.

I still haven't had the chance to check It out, but will do so within the next couple of days.

Make sure you install the dependencies if required. I used pip3, it's as easy as "pip3 install {dependency}"
