This is passwords, a free program to store passwords and additional data in a single secure database. Passwords main focus is on quick and easy usage as well as robustness and flexibility in terms of the encryption technique. The encryption method is completely configurable because passwords does not do this itself. Instead the cleartext database is filtered through an external application (e.g. GnuPG) for encryption. Therefore any program that is able to act like a filter can be used.
The passwords homepage is located at http://passwords.sourceforge.net/
REQUIREMENTS
- The GNU Readline library (for interactive mode command line editing) http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html
Allthough not technically required it is recommended that you have GnuPG installed and generated a keypair. GnuPG and information about how to generate a keypair can be found at the GnuPG homepage.

If you know of any other good encryption tools please let me know so I can include pointers to them here.
