pwd.sh is a single Bash script that manages text secrets such as passwords using GnuPG symmetric encryption. Secrets are stored in randomly-named encrypted files with an encrypted index, and can be decrypted directly with GnuPG without the script.

Use cases

• manage passwords from the terminal with gpg encryption
• generate random passwords and usernames in a shell script
• store secrets encrypted without installing a full password manager
• keep versioned history of password changes with timestamps
• back up and restore an encrypted secrets archive
• decrypt secret files directly with gnupg without the tool

When to choose

• you want a minimal, auditable single-script password manager on unix
• you already trust and use GnuPG and want symmetric encryption
• you need scriptable, command-line secret storage with clipboard support
• you want secrets recoverable with plain gpg, no vendor lock-in

When to avoid

• you need multi-device sync or a graphical password manager
• you want team sharing or asymmetric key-based access control
• you need browser integration or autofill features
• you are on Windows without a bash/gnupg environment
