PASSWORD-GORILLA(1)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, say hi to password-gorilla β it's a password manager π 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 π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
password-gorilla
that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, just β¨ launch the gorilla β¨ π¦
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
okay so here's the tea, bestie π 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 π₯ And the way it protects that file? A single "master password" π So instead of memorising the many, many logins you use, you only need to remember the one master password. iconic behaviour, honestly π
Now here's the part that's giving main character energy β¨ If you wanna log in to a service or a Web site, Password Gorilla copies your user name and password straight to the clipboard π 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 π (yes bestie, even then. privacy queen π).
And the convenience?? Obsessed π It literally allows you to choose different, non-intuitive passwords for each and every service β because why would you ever reuse one π And there's an integrated random password generator π that can provide one-time passwords, and it's tunable to whatever policies the various services have. slay.
π FILES π
- The program creates a configuration file
.gorillarcin the home directory of the user. π β¨
