      Create me a graphic. Something to use as the icon of the application.

      the project is called Krypt, and it is a password manager so a lock and key, or a safe,, even something like a portcullis, but it must be unique.

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Krypt that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      telling people about it.

      I don't know how to get started with telling people.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

About Krypt

(logo)

Krypt is a simple easy to use password manager written in python. It utilises an encrypted called a keystore to store usernames and passwords, meaning from now on, you only need to remember one password.

I am really unimpressed with the password managers available on Linux. So I am building my own. I use KDE solely, so initially this will be a kde project, but anyone is welcome to take the code and create a GTK frontend.

What I want is an ecrypted file showing three columns. The first line wil be "Account, Username, Password"
the next and subsequent lines will be an account name and a username and a password. Clicking on a field will push it to klipper, so I can paste it into the necessary field. Encryption type should be GPG or AES, or other respected, and considered strong cipher.

I am learning(and loving) python so am thinking we will use python and pyQT for this project. I will try to make it modular so that someone else can take the code and do a GNOME version if they wish.

from the profile of denartha

The code is mostly written in Python + PyQT.
