πŸ‘‘ NAME πŸ‘‘

okay so bestie, say hi to password-gorilla β€” it's a password manager πŸ’– that's literally the whole vibe, no cap.

This is the manual page for password-gorilla, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and I'm about to spill every single detail about it 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

password-gorilla

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, just ✨ launch the gorilla ✨ πŸ¦‹


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea, bestie πŸ“ The Password Gorilla is here to help you manage alllll your logins. It stores every single one of your user names and passwords, plus your login information and other notes, inside a securely encrypted file πŸ”₯ And the way it protects that file? A single "master password" πŸ‘‘ So instead of memorising the many, many logins you use, you only need to remember the one master password. iconic behaviour, honestly πŸ’…

Now here's the part that's giving main character energy ✨ If you wanna log in to a service or a Web site, Password Gorilla copies your user name and password straight to the clipboard πŸ“‹ so you can just paste it into your Web browser or whatever other application you're living in. And because the password does not appear on the screen, Password Gorilla is safe to use even when other people are around πŸ‘€ (yes bestie, even then. privacy queen πŸ’œ).

And the convenience?? Obsessed 😭 It literally allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each and every service β€” because why would you ever reuse one πŸ™ˆ And there's an integrated random password generator πŸŽ€ that can provide one-time passwords, and it's tunable to whatever policies the various services have. slay.


πŸŽ€ FILES πŸŽ€

  • The program creates a configuration file .gorillarc in the home directory of the user. 🏠✨

πŸ’€ REPORTING BUGS πŸ’€

Found a bug? 😭 Not the vibe, but we handle it. Bugs can be reported through the Debian Bug Tracking System at http://bugs.debian.org πŸ›πŸ«Ά
